My own specific interest is in descendants and ancestors of Hans Adam Shreiner, who settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the early 1700's. He dropped the [c] from the surname, and people with this unusual spelling may all be related. Some of his descendants now spell their name Schreiner or Shriner. The haplogroup for this group is I-M253.
