Hi Jim, Thanks again for the compliments. My father's name was Raymond Stoker Zent. He passed away two years ago. He was born September 8th. 1915. His Father was Frank Zent and his mother was Louise Stoker. My father was born in Huntington, Indiana.and I believe there are still family there but I am not in touch because my mother's family raised me after my mom died when I was 6. I saw very little of my father until he was on in years. I do know that my father and his father were German in origin. Pennsylvania fits with what I have heard about the book. Its not about the Zent family persae but I was told that there was a lot about the family in it. The title is The Centennial. If you get a chance to read it let me know.I would love to see any information about the Zent family line and thank you so much for getting back to me. All the Best June
