Elsewhere on this site there is a reference to a Magdalena Stober, wife of Isaac S. Gerhart, and was included in a brief Posey/Gerhart History put out to a handful of descendants of that line. As with our inclination to focus on the male lines starting with our own, we didn't pay that much attention to her - she's been dead for 130+ years.

Through the presence of this site another ancestrally challenged individual, Marie Stober, first recognized Magdalena's name, then emailed us a brief introductory note, and finally emailed with information on her lineage as well as links to a major Stober/Stover site on the net.

While we have been able to provide some information on our line of descendancy from Magdalena, what Marie's efforts were able to provide were so much more significant. It is such a kick to discover ancestors you never knew you had - in this case we now have an additional 5 generations back on the Stober line, extending us back in time from 1791 to 1626. A major find.
