Editor's note; I wish to thank all of you who have shown interest in getting a RADER Newsletter started. I have had so much incouragement that I have decided to take the plunge and get it going before I finish my book.

It will be a little homespun in format in order for all of the RADER searchers to communicate with each other and still get all the information to me so that a master file can be kept to be used by you subscribers.

There will be several different catagories covered and as the Newsletter develops, I will look forward to your input and suggestions as to how we can make this a real family endeavor. SOOoooo let's get started........ In this first issue let's start with the first generations of RADERs that many are connected to. I have recieved notice of several later RADER arrivials; we will include those families when we recieve a little more documentation on them. I would like to document each generation so that in time we will have all the pieces put together.

I [Johann] Adam RADER b. [ca 1660-1664] Mannheim Germany. d. Upper Hanover Twp. Philidelphia Co. (now Montgomery Co.) PA [ca. 1730/35] belonged to the New Goschenhoppen Reformed Church m. [ca 1685] Catharine TEIBERT/TAUBER/DIEBERT b. [ca 1662-1680] Germany d. 19 Apr 1751 Emmaus PA; Ch. under II

What documentation exists? We have Finney's book and a few other scraps. Can anyone document any of the information in brackets? I have recieved at least a dozen different dates and have also recieved 1 letter stating that Adam died in 1721 in Germany and only Catharine and the children immigrated to America. ***

By the formation of new counties from Old Northampton it has lost considerable of its original boundries: The following townships being made into or part of new counties...

In 1811 to Schuylkill County, Twps. Rush and West Penn.

In 1812 to Lehigh County, Twps. Heidelberg, Lowhill, Lynn, Macungie, Northampton, Salisbury, South Whitehall, Upper Milford, Upper Saucon and Weissenberg.

In 1836 to Monroe County, Twps. Chestnuthill, Hamilton, Pocoho, Ross, Smithfield, Stroud and Tobyhanna.
