Hello, James! Are your Oberholtzer family lines and your Quaker ones tied together going way back, or are they separate? I was not aware of any Quaker Ob(v)erholtzers before meeting you.

Welcome, James Oberholtzer!
I have Overholtzer friends in the western states, all Old German Baptists. Presumably, you and they have some genealogical ties somewhere in the past.
It would be interesting to hear more about your Quaker background, and your Quaker "foreground" too!
