Very good feedback from you both Peggy and Barry. Unfortunately, as is common, Peggy's family researcher has been confused by the John Peter Strayer of Dover, PA red herring. Our Matthias Stroeher, probably of Bombogen parish, is a separate line and may only be "cousins" to John Peter, Han Adam and Matthias who are reputed to be brothers. Catholic oriented Bombogen parish near Wittlich, Germany is only 14 road miles from Evangelical Lutheran Irmenach(with Bueren and Starkenburg)in Kreis Zell which registers the marriages of both Han Adam and Johan Peter Stroeher circa 1740-1745. You go southeast from Wittlich through Altrich to Bernkastle and cross the Mosel River and go about 4 miles slightly northeast to Irmenach; if you continue on that road, in about 6 more miles, you come to Starkenburg and if you continue further downstream (northeast here) you come to Enkirch (home to Joh.Daniel Angst and his wife Elizabetha Stroer who emigrated with Han Adam and Matthias Stroeher on ship "Two Brothers" in 1748) and then to Zell the "county seat". I am attempting to translate the Old German script records for these parishes/civil records. Hopefully with great success in the next year.
