Message Board Post:
I was born in East Berlin, PA. to Stewart Edward Chronister and Vera Adeline Dorey Chronister. I am looking for relatives on my Father's side. He was born in May,1908 to Robert Chronister and Mabel E. Myers Chronister. He also had an older brother, Melvin, who married Virgie Gochenaur. I don't know too much about the Chronister side of the family.My grandfather, Robert died before I was born, but my grandmother, Mabel was a daughter of Charles Myers that died about 1942 or 1943. She also had a brother named William and he married Pheobie. I think her maiden name was also Chronister. They had 2 daughters,Mabel and Irene,and 4 sons, Charles, John, Ray & Roy(twins). On the Chronister side, I only remember 2 of my father's cousins, Stewart and Glenn Chronister. I think mostly all came from the York Springs, Hampton and East Berlin area. My father, Stewart Chronister died Oct.1959 and is buried in East Berlin, Pa.
You will probably get a lot of answers, but as far as I have been able to
research all the Chronisters in America came from Johannes
Chronister/Kranoster who settled in what is now Adams Co PA. I visited the
churchyard where he is buried just 2 weeks ago, and saw the area that was
his land. There is material on him in Worldconnect in Rootsweb, and also I
believe in the Ancestry World Tree. His family has also been researched
back a few generations back in Germany and Austria.
There is a southern branch from his eldest son Mathew/Mathias which spread
across the souther US, but most of his many children seem to have spread
across the northern part. If you cannot find the material there write me.

I would like to know if you were able to gather any info on the Chronister family. I, too, know next to nothing about my father's father--Norman Chronister except he met my Grandmother, Lucille Nussbaum in St. Leo, MN in the early 1900s--They married in sioux City, Iowa and my father was born there in 1913. He abandoned the family there and was never heard from again. That is my Grandmother would never speak of him again. She told people that his sister wrote to her and told her Norman had died. But that was about the time Grandma wanted to get married again and that may have been easier and cheaper that getting a divorce. ; > ). I would be very interested in any info you have. Thanks Judi
I am writing to ask if you were able to obtain any info an the Chronister family and it's arrivial in North America. My grandfather was Norman Chronister who lived in Sioux City Iowa in 1911 to about 1915. We know nothing about his abackground as he left my Grandmother there and she would not speak of him at all. I have always been interested to find where he came from and might have gone back to. Judi Chronister Ruak
