January 17, 2000 – over the weekend I have rechecked the earlier pages on the Settlemyre/Zettlemoyer family and cleaned up errors that I found. I have also posted some of the family of Jacob Settlemire of Burke Co NC – his daughters Mary and Caterina, his son Jacob (Jacob III), and Jacob III's children Agnes and Cyrus. Much more to come!
                           – I have also received the GEDCOM of the Saddlemire family and compared it with information in a GEDCOM that claims that Hans Jerg Seidelmayer who came to America in 1754 married (after his wife Margaretha died) Magdalena Wagner, and that Godfrey Settlemyer was their child. That points out the danger of putting too much stock in GEDCOMS – the facts show that Godfrey was the son of Jacob Zettelmeyer.

I plan to continue working on this family for the foreseeable future.

I also hope soon to receive a GEDCOM of the Saddlemire family of New York that traces back to Johannes Seydelmeyer of Altenriet, Baden-Wuerttemburg.
