     Query: I am researching the family of Jeremiah Hollinger of Blair
Co, Pa. He was the son of
     Samuel Hollinger who apparently resided in Miami co, KS along with
his wife Nancy (Baker)
     and several children. Apparently, he had a family in Kansas, and
then at least some family
     members returned to PA, because my his son, Jeremiah, was the
mother of my GG
     grandmother, Susan Hollinger, who lived in PA. I would appreciate
any information on the
     Hollingers who lived in Kansas and what their migration story was.
Jeremiah's brothers and
     sisters who were born in KS that I know of were: Jacob, Simon (who
married Elizabeth
     Smith), Lewis (who married Stuffy Carper), and Louisa (who married
John Hoffman).

     There are references to several Hollingers in Vol 2 of the cemetery
index (Delilah, Elizabeth,
     Jake, Lemuel, Nancy, Samuel, and Simon). The Hollinger family is
also mentioned in the
     history of pioneer families of pages 202 and 203.

     I would really appreciate the information that is available on this
family in Kansas. At this
     point, it is a real stumper to me why they would have gone from PA
to KS and then (at least
     some members of the family) come back to PA.

     Response: The references on pp 202 and 203 of Family Histories and
Stories of Miami Co.
     do discuss Samuel and Nancy Hollinger, their son Simon Hollinger
and his wife Elizabeth
     Smith, their grandson Lemuel Hollinger and his wife Delia May Day,
their grandson Boyd
     Cecil Hollinger and his wife Esther May Renner, and their children.
The actual text runs about
     a column and a half, and includes two photographs - Boyd and
Esther, Lemuel and Delia. The
     text is interesting but doesn't do much to clarify why they moved
to KS. Apparently the family
     came to KS in 1877 in a group of four families, 16 individuals,
traveling by train. They spent
     their first night in KS at the farm home of D. H. Longenecker who
had come from PA. They
     paid 1000 dollars for 80 acres.

     Other incidental references to this surname are found on pp 146,
313, 345 of Family Histories
     and Stories. In Vol II, Cemeteries of Miami Co, KS, p 127, Pleasant
Valley Cemetery, Row
     3 Lot 38 - Hollinger, Deliah 1879-1962; Hollinger, Lemuel
1874-1967; p. 157, Scott Valley
     Cemetery, Row 8, Lot 9S - Hollinger, Simon d 23 Mar 1896 age 52y
7d; Hollinger,
     Elizabeth 11 Oct 1852 - 19 Jan 1940; Hollinger, Jake 1893-1968; Lot
24S - Hollinger,
     Samuel 24 Mar 1814 - 8 Aug 1898 age 84y 4m 14d; Hollinger, Nancy
1819-1909. There
     are four pages referenced for Hollinger in Vol. III.

     You may wish to try and get these references through interlibrary
loan or ask the Historical
     and Genealogy Society to make you photocopies of the pages.
Information about the
     publications with their addresses can be found on the publications
page.
