By Gayle O. Kamp & Deanna Thomas Oklepek
Once in a while a family history book comes along that deserves special attention. Such a book is one in which Gayle Kamp and Deanna Oklepek, have after fifteen years of research and compilation. It is a comprehensive Beltzhoover family history from 1713 in Germany to 1752 in Philadelphia and through eleven generations. Members of this prominent family were tavern/hotel owners, bankers, river-boat builders, river-boat Captains and owners, of metal furnace companies. This family is traced from Philadelphia, PA., to Baltimore and Hagerstown, MD., to York, Carlisle, Pittsburgh, Beltzhoover, and Castle Shannon, PA., Natchez, MS., and points west. One Beltzhoover, Col. Daniel Beltzhoover, graduated from West Point and served in the Civil War as a Confederate. Though considerable is contained herein of his life and career, a book, in and of itself, could be made. To cap this historical and family migration, there is a 5,000 name index that is cross-referenced with maiden names. There are ample references and sources quoted. "Beltzhoover," is a book that satisfies every genealogical need and is an excellent reference guide as to how such a book can be presented. Whether you are a descendant of Beltzhoover or not, this is a very interesting book. "Beltzhoover," is now available through AuthorHouse.

I often imagine what it would have been like to be able to have served in the Navy during World War II instead of serving when I did. I have to think that it was a tough time for all but especially the civilians who had to deal with rationing and watching every move they made due to security risks. The part that I would have liked is the music of the era and going to all the live bands that used to play during that time, like Glenn Miller, Louis Jordan, and Benny Goodman. The sailors of that time saw ports of call that are restricted to history books now like Shanghai, Athens, Malta, and Marseille. I also would have liked to wear my uniform all the time like they used to; unlike now where civilian clothes are authorized all the time. It just feels like there was something special about that time while in the military and maybe it was because there was a different kind of war on. The war back then was embraced by all in one way or another; whether you liked it or not, you still supported it. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different period of time? Open the pages of this book and see if you don't just go back to a different time. Take a journey as far back as the Dunmore War's of 1774, before there was a United States, and see if you can put yourself there. The nice thing about this book is that you have over 230 years to pick from. Just be careful what period you pick from or who you think you'd like to be; not everybody returns.

Nearly all of the Rambo families in the United States are descended from one common ancestor: Peter Gunnarson Rambo, a Swedish colonist who landed on the shores of the Delaware River in 1640 at what is now Wilmington, Delaware. This history of the Rambo family describes Peter and his six children and lists their descendants who have migrated into every state of the Union. Some of the family lines have been extended to the 12th generation with their children comprising the 13th generation.
Peter Rambo, Peter Gunnarson Rambo's second son, and his descendants are the focus of this fourth volume of the Rambo Family Tree series. Peter was an active member of Gloria Dei Church, became a large landowner, and was a representative of Philadelphia to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1709. Peter and wife Magdalena Skute lived on Pennypack Creek in Lower Dublin Township [now part of Philadelphia]. This volume lists all their children and many generations of descendants although generally no people still living will be recorded herein.
Rambo is the primary surname in this book although extended families are recorded by daughters who married Davis, Johnson, Kiger, Roof, Runyan, and Smith husbands.
A third edition of this genealogy is being compiled as you read this. Please help to improve this genealogy by sending corrections, additions and improvements to me at rsbeatty@gmail.com. With your help, the third edition can be even better.
Thanks. Ron Beatty, October 2009
