I found your website by doing a wordsearch " Andreas Yehl (Jehl/Yeal/Yeahl/Yale) landowner Pa" or somesuch thing, as I am sure the birthdate that I have for him, a generalized " about 1742" has to be incorrect, because I am fairly certain that his son "Jacob Sr." was a Captain in the Revolutionary War who mustered out in 1781, so Jacob had to be born earlier also (I have a date "about 1765). I just assumed that Andreas/Andrew had land. I am having a time finding out if Andreas immigrated (probably) and when. None of the church records I was so excited to see his name in the Arner Book! I am directly descended from Andreas and his first wife, Christina/christine (no last name)through 3 Jacobs, then Samuel (Civil War), his son Abraham Jacob (my Great-Grandfather); his younger son, Randolph Martin Yale was my Grandfather, who died when I was just seven in 1960. My mother is still with us at 80. I could not open the document, perhaps a mismatch, but opened it with wordpad. Thanks, I'm so happy!

I was born and raised in Michigan. My father Don was born in Canada, in Kingsville, and moved to Detroit at age 5. My grandfathers Leo, Culver, and Henry are all Canadian, and I am off next week to visit their grave sites at the Iler Baptist Cemetery in Essex, Ontario. I also plan to visit the hamlet known as the Arner Stop, on Arner Townline Road, named for Jacob Arner. I recently made contact with my cousin, James Arner, on Ancestry.com. He lives near Toronto, and told me about this site. Very interesting. I look forward to reviewing the material.

My mother was an Arner, Hazel Arner (Richter) descended from the youngest son of the original settler. Her OH lineage goes back to Phillip Arner, the first settler of Ellsworth, OH, in 1803. My great-grandfather Caleb had 9 children, in Ellsworth, OH. There were 7 girls and 2 boys. One of the boys had no kids, and the other, Ray, my grandfather, had four daughters, so the name died out there. But growing up next door, in Canfield, OH, I was surrounded by Arner cousins growing up. The cemetery in Ellsworth, OH has a lot of Arner gravestones. I attended the reunion in Lehigh Co in 2002; what fun! I also am the one who found some evidence of relation with the Canadian Arners, from a book in the Salt Lake City Mormon library, in the early 1980's. If anyone's near SLC, maybe this could be explored more. So glad to find this site, because the original site of Joe Erner had disappeared -- and thanks to him so much for all his research! I always felt like I have more "Arner" blood than anything else -- perhaps by being more surrounded by

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!

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 Zürich 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 Zürich]. 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 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.
