Hello ; I am seeking information abt. my Ancestor, EDEL - EDELL , first name unkn. , I have traced back to HENRY H. EDEL - EDELL , b. abt. 1832 in Phila. area , his parents are poss. MATTHIAS EDEL & PHOEBE BAKEOVEN but I am not sure - There was a CHRISTIAN EDEL in Germantown, died 1769, will proved 1771, could maybe be his Grandfather; also there were two EDELs shown as Hessian Soldiers in the Archives ... If there is an EDEL lister I would love to hear from you, I have been unable to trace back any further than HENRY H. and am trying to find the link back to Germany.... Thank you, Sally Edell Dutton
