Good Morning John: While I have had no success in finding my ancestor, Hartmann Diehl, that I believe was a Hessian, I am active in reading all the messages with the hope that I will recognize a name similar to Diehl/Diel/Thiel or married names in the family that will may prove to be a worthy contact. Trust that your health is better and that you can enjoy all the free time that you now have since you have given your files to others. God Bless. George Diehl
