I saw your email about living in Germantown. I have Ehinger and Hofsess who
lived in Philadelphia. Can you tell me where lower Medina is? Also 702
Nonifacien. Lawerence St. My Boniface Ehinger is buried in Holy Redemmer
Cem. Is this cemetery still being used. Where is it located, and what
Catholic Church would be the closest to it? Can you help me? I hope you
can answer these questions for me. If there is anything I can help you
with, please send me the info and I will do what I can to help. Thank you.

Many people travelled back and forth between
Cheltenham and Germantown.
As you probably know, I live in Germantown and we
often shop in Cheltenham. It's about a 15 minute drive
from my house to the two main shopping malls in
Cheltenham.
