Variations of the name

I recently had to tally the veriations I have for descendants of Ambrose Remeli who retain the surname as a recognizable cognate. Here are the results: Remaley 1671 Remaly 849 Ramaley 436 Remely 197 Ramalia 95 Remalia 51 Raymaley 50 Ramaly 45 Remaily 35 Remaley 28 Remalie 24 Ramale 17 Remeli 17 Remalia 9 Remalia 9 Ramala 8 Ramalie 7 Remalia 7 Remeley 7 Remalia 6 Remalia 5 Remalia 5 Remalia 4 Remale 2 Remailia 1 ReMaley 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 ReMalia 1 Remelia 1 Remelie 1 Total 3595

Over 20,000

I don't update this blog as often as I should because I usually spend my research time trying to find, or to verify, cousins. But I see that I managed to miss a somewhat important milestone in that a couple of months ago I surpassed the 20,000 mark for descendants of Ambrose. 20,200 to be more precise.

Although the quest for new cousins is somewhat pressing because folks have a unfortunate tendency to die before I get their family info recorded, my thoughts have turned to ways I want to distribute what I know of Ambrose's descendants. Of course I find new connections that often render previous connections suspect (or even simply incorrect) but I realize that the history will never be finished if I simply work on "new" connections.

While I believe the bulk of my work will only be handled in electronic form, I want to produce some hard copy version that will at least give future generations a road map to rediscover their individual genealogies and so I am struggling with that now. In the meantime I am trying to clean up some earlier work that I "inherited" from Elizabeth "Isabel" (Remaley) Taylor (1908-2007), a Westmoreland based genealogist. She spent a lot of her time corresponding with family members from each of her 16 great-grandparents and I hope to get some of the non-Remaley items into the hands of family members working those lines.

But I will still welcome emails from folks interested in the Remaley/Ramaley line.

Surname Index for "Slatington At 150 Years"

Surname Index for “Slatington At 150 Years: More Stories To Share” In 2013 the “Slatington’s 150th History Book Committee” was formed for the purpose of producing a book that could honor present and past folks from the Slatington community. Members of the committee were Candyce Mantz Merkle (co-chair), Robert Stettner (co-chair), Michael Hofmann Jr., Daniel Phillips, Judith Gellis Snyder, and Tim Snyder. The result was a beautifully illustrated 8 ½ x 11 hard-bound volume of some 582 pages. It was distributed in early 2015. Through the kindness of the committee, I received an electronic copy of the book and have created this Surname Index for the convenience of those using the book to search for specific family names. Only surnames that are connected with Slatington’s history are indexed here and spellings used in the book are maintained here, even if the book spelling might have been a typographical error.
My personal interest is in the descendants of my fifth great grandfather, Ambrose Remeli. Ambrose immigrated to America in 1749, following by some 18 years the 1731 immigration of his brother Nicholas to Germantown, Philadelphia [Palatine Origins of Some Pennsylvania Pioneers © 2000, Annette Kunselman Burget, p271]. By dying in 1737, Nicholas missed being the progenitor of the family in America. But he willed the remainder of his estate to his brother Ambrose, who at the time had seven small children. Ambrose arrived 9 Oct 1749 [Pennsylvania German Pioneers © 1934 by Strassburger & Hinke, p 420] with at least several (perhaps all) of his children: Anna Maria (b 1721), Johan Philip (b 1725), Maria Magdalena (b 1728), Catharina (b 1730), Michael (b 1731), John (b 1733), George (b 1735), Peter (b 1738), and Anna Margaretha (b 1741).
As an example of how early histories are not always better than more recently researched works, in the 1884 publication “History of the Counties of Lehigh and Carbon” by Mathews and Hungerford, the Remaly Family article (section on Heidelberg Twp, Lehigh County) states that “Ambrose and Jacob Remely, French Huguenots, emigrated (sic) to this country in 1741.” The rash of “County Histories” connected with the 1876 United States centennial resulted from the desire of publishers to solicit histories from local families and then sell “prestige” copies to those families. Generally there was no confirmation of the stories that were told and so confusion became possible and, when written, became “fact” In this case, it was likely that the Ambrose Remaly mentioned was actually the grandson Ambrose (b 1762 -- through Michael) of the immigrant. He had a brother John Jacob (1771).
Enjoy finding YOUR family. Jim Ramaley, Gettysburg, PA. www.ramaley.org jramaley@comcast.net

Update on descendants

OK, it's been a long time since my last post but, as you will see, I've been busy.

I just ran a statistics report on my data base and find that I now have 19,746 direct descendants of the immigrant Ambrose. Of these I have some 10,493 spouses and that implies that I am still missing large chunks since the missing spouses are often males and therefore I am unable to continue the line of a female Ramaley since I don't know her married name.

The good news is that more and more sources are coming on-line. For example, Pennsylvania has allowed the death certificates to be published for deaths occurring more than 50 years ago. Although this data base is available through ancestry.com, it has not been updated in the last few years. Still, it is very useful since you can search on maiden names as well as married names and the certificates often give dates of birth as well as the date of death. Parents of the deceased are usually given as well.

Newspapers.com is another source where papers are made available with indexing that is pretty good.

My genealogical goal is to contact cousins and share what I know of their line in order to make sure future family historians can track backwards and also find contemporaries who might be helpful in filling in some blanks. I try to contact folks by email so that I can send a pdf attachment at no cost to me. The attachments often run more than 30 pages by the time all the source citations are included. If there is a Remaley (or Ramaley or Remaly, etc) in your ancestry, please contact me and I'll try to fill in some info for you.

Another Year -- Another 1000 cousins

I see it has been nearly a year since I have posted to the blog.

I have an excuse -- I am STILL finding relatives at the rate of about 100/month.

I started my search for descendants of the immigrant, Ambrose Remeli some years ago, prompted by the realization that if I was to locate contemporary cousins I needed to have an organized framework that tied folks back to the immigrant. I found a genealogical program called Brother's Keeper about 15 years ago and have continued to use through several updates and variations. I rarely encounter relatives "by accident".

My MO is to follow obits (the Allentown Morning Call is a great source) and see if I can tie folks into Ambrose and then try to locate the current locations of family members in the obit. If possible, I will contact the person, verify that the connection is correct and then send a PDF attachment report that gives the person their complete history up the line to Ambrose. I include all source citations and so in this way the person has a jump start on their own genealogy. It's a fun thing.

As of a count today, I now have over 18,023 descendants of Ambrose.

No big break on the major unlinked line, but I did encounter a cousin sitting next to me at the Easton Library a few months ago and he supplied me with a very large number of obits of Remaleys that he had been collecting over the years. I am still working through the list and breaking new ground almost daily.

If you or someone you know has a Ramaley (Remaley, Remaly, Ramaly, etc.) in their background, let me know and I'll see how they fit in. Maybe I'll spark their own interest and that is my goal.

The Search Continues

Some folks have noted that it has been some time since I posted here and so I am posting today! I now have some 17,269 descendants of the immigrant Ambrose, Remeli and the tree is still growing at the rate of about 1000 per year. Of course it grows unevenly since the number of descendants added to a branch depends upon how far back the branch was linked. And there are still a couple of big mystery branches that we have not yet been able to tie in. The biggest branch is that headed by John Remely (b abt 1770, d 1802). John married Maria Catharina Bender and heads up a branch that contains some 575 descendants.

I am still pondering how to publish the info. I like books, but the number of volumes would be large and so I am leaning towards a one-line summary for each descendant. Even that will be a volume of about 350 pages. Then include a family tree database.

Anyway, that's where things stand today. If anyone reading this is interested in family history, please contact me via email at comcast.net.

Another year -- more cousins

I see that I have let a year go by without any posts. But I have been busy. My most recent count shows that I have identified 16,961 descendants of the 1749 immigrant Ambrose Remeli and so I am still finding about 90 people per month. There are still a couple of large groups that are surely linked to Ambrose -- but we don't have the link.

I encourage anyone interested in knowing their ancestry back to Ambrose to contact me. I am still looking for these missing links and will probably find them among the papers of some long-lost cousin.

October 2009 update

I am now up to over 16,000 descendants of Ambrose Remeli and still adding new cousins at the rate of about 100/month. If you have a Ramaley (Remaly, Remaley, etc.) in your past, please contact me and I will be glad to both update my files and send you an ancestry chart that will (probably) go back to Ambrose. I say "probably" because there are a couple of large branches that we have not yet fit in, although they are almost certainly related. The largest such branch is anchored by John Remely (b between 1765 and 1783; d 1825 in Bushkill Twp, Northampton Co, PA). John was maried to Maria Catharina Bender and I have some 410 descendants for John -- but no tie-in to Ambrose. It is one of the greatest genealogical mysteries we need to solve and so if you are in this branch I really want to hear from you.
