It was interesting for me to note that one of the pall bearers for Mary Allwein was George Seyfert. As Christine knows, and some of the other's on this list may also know, the Seyfert/Allwein connection goes back to 1775 when Hans Jacob & Katrina's daughter Catherine married Joseph Seifert. I can not seem to place this George Seyfert, if anyone would happen to know his lineage I would be very interested to see it.
