Search for people in the database.

This database includes ancestors that I am directly descended from. It also includes the thousands of descendants of John and Jacob Kreider. They were two of the sons of Hans Jacob Kreider, and the original Kreider settlers in what is now Lebanon County. Thanks to my brother Jonathan P. Weaver-Kreider for doing most of the research on our direct ancestral lines.
