I really appreciate all the work that has gone into this. Since the Arner book is not available to everyone, might some of those stories be included here?

I am very excited to find this website. I am an Arner descendant on my mother's side. My grandfather was Nelson A. Orner. Felix Arner (Jr) was his great grandfather so Felix Arner (Sr) was his great, great grandfather. I would like to know if there have been any reunions since 2004. Will there be one this year and if so when? I am planning to take a trip to Pennsylvania this summer to visit the places where my mother grew up. I have never been to that area of Pennsylvania. I also want to find living relatives. I hope you can help me. I look forward to hearing from someone. Darlene Kraft 321-795-6801

My grandparent (Harry Franklin Arner) lived in rural Nescopeck on a small farm. I do not know where our decendents are from. My grandmother Arner was Creola Campbell. Harry and Creola had 2 boys and 7 girls. I need guidance on researching my family's geneology. My father was Harry Eugene Arner and he married Jennie Fae (Ryman). My parents had 1 son and 3 daughters. Thank-you!

This is my second or third visit to the website, at least. Thanks to all who have contributed to this valuable resource! -Eric (great-great-great-great-great grandson of Jacob Arner I, whose farm is in Kingsville, Ontario, the town where I grew up). I actually grew up in the farmhouse built by the 4th generation of Canadian Arners in Canada (c. 1880), and my dad still lives in that house, which is on a road called "Arner Townline!"

I am one of those "Arners south of Windsor, Ontario, or I was until I recently moved northwest to an area near the border of Minnesota. My ancestry is directly tied to the first Arner to come to British North America/ Upper Canada during the American revolutionary war. Some theories suggest they were prisoners who became converted to fight for the Brits against the Yankees, others might see them as opportunists. They did receive a sizeable tract of land for defending against the Americans possible invasion. The Europeans did anyway, but the natives who fought alongside them, well, the British pretended to befriend them, but ultimately decided they needed to suppress them enough to pursue British aims... Anyway, long story short, it is a very long and interesting history that all the Arners share, and I'd love to know what and where my ancestors were in the earliest days of North America.

I'm one of those Arners your site mentions who is from the north side of Lake Erie. I'm a direct descendant of Jacob Arner who was a Butler's Ranger during the late 1700s and was rewarded for his service with a large plot of land. He is my great(x5) grandfather. I am, right now, a high school music teacher in Northwestern Ontario.

Wonderful site! I'm reading the Arner Book with great interest! Thank you for all this work. My grandmother: Laurene Troutman Moore, daughter of Thomas George Troutman & Adda Hall. Her grandmother: Christiana Arner. I've noticed several family trees on the Internet missing information about Thomas George Troutman's descendants. He had two children, Clyde (1891) and Laurene (1898) in Oakdale, PA. They moved to Monroe, OH before 1910 and Tulsa, OK after 1910 - my gr. grandfather Troutman was in the oil business and followed it. Please email me if you're trying to fill in your family tree; I'm not sure this is the place for me to give such lengthy information.

Good summary, compliments on your efforts to assemble this. On your website home page, there are some misspelled words (ironically, under the subject of "Spelling the Arner name") You refer to the "Stadt Archives" of Zurich. Note that one can speak of a Staatsarchiv (Cantonal Archives) and a Stadtarchiv (City Archives), as Z�rich is the name for the canton as well as the city. In this case, the correct reference is to the Cantonal Archives [of the Canton of Z�rich]. The Dr. you mentioned as Director of the Cantonal Archives is spelled Dr. Pfister (not Phister). I am descended from Jacob Arner (born 1759) who married Barbara Arnold and settled on the N. Shore of Lake Erie after the U.S. Revolutionary War. While I don�t personally have evidence that Jacob was a direct descendant of Johann Ulrich Arner, it seems quite likely that he would have been a son or a grandson. Perhaps someone out there has more. Kurt My Grandfather, Harold Stanley (Cy) Arner (born 08 Feb 1902 in Gosfield Township, Ontario, Canada) w

Hi - Please advise if you reside in PA or New England. I will be in Boston with my wife Corinne, the week following Easter 2019. We will be visiting our son Flurin who is living and working there with his girlfriend Sarah. I am descended from Jacob Arner of Kingsville, Essex Co., Ontario. This is the same Jacob who disappeared during the Revolutionary War in 1775 or thereabouts and re-emeged in SW Ontario to found a family with Barbara Arnold. So I believe we have a common ancestor in Johann Ulrich Arner of Windlach, Stadel. My grandfather was Harold Stanley (Cy) Arner, who emigrated from Canada to the USA (first Michigan, then California). My father, Richard Douglas Arner, was born in San Leandro, California on August 2nd, 1935. Today he and my mother live in Salt Lake City. I have two brothers, Paul (1956) and Mark (1957). In any case, I visited the Zurich Staatsarchiv today to view some of the original records of marriage, baptism and emigration. I was born in Walnut Creek, California and grew up in Fremont, Ca

Wonderful website/book! I descend from FELIX JR's daughter, SUSANNA MARGARETHA ARNER, (married Jacob Burger/Berger. I am struggling to find any info on JACOB BURGER or others who descend from this pair. I suspicion that Jacob has a brother Nicholas. I do not think he is the Jacob that has brothers Dewalt and David mentioned in History of Lehigh County. Thank you!!

Searching for descendants of SUSANNA MARGARETHA ARNER (daughter of Felix Sr.) and JACOB BURGER. Also desperate to find any information on Jacob, who likely had a brother, Nicholas. (I do not think he is the Jacob Burger referenced in "History of Lehigh Co. Vol.2, P.165). Wonderful website/book! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
