Henry and Catherine are Jacob's parents.I have some of the line.I am also looking for more info on Henry and Catherine's families, but no luck yet.
The families lived in what we call "Dutch Corner" which includes Imlertown.Most families there spoke PA Dutch (German) so I assume they are orig. from Germany and not English Shunks.
Don't mix Imlertown with Imler, PA ... two different towns in the same county.
Jacob's son David had a son Lloyd, who was my "Pap Shunk" - he was my grandmother's stepfather.They lived in Bedford, PA.He never had children of his own.
If you have a subscription to Ancestry.com, go to periodicals and find the Bedford Gazette.Then search for David Shunk.You will find pages and pages of obits, "gossip", etc... about the family and their relatives from late 1800's through the 40's or so.
Anyone else looking for Henry & Catherine's family, I would love to hear from you!
