For us to truly understand where we are going, we need to know where we've been. Our ancestry is our inheritance. The trials and triumphs of our ancestors are not only informative, they're inspirational. This book contains the genealogies, stories, and photos of the families of Butler County, Pennsylvania. Census Records, Church Records, first-hand interviews and newspapers contributed to the information contained in this book. This book traces family trees and connections of (mostly) Germans coming to America to settle in Johann Roebling's Saxonburg, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Most families date back to early to mid-1800's. Each family has it's own chapter and all names are indexed.
