I have been researching the PENSEL family for many years. Frederich PENSEL was born 1805 in Ostheim. He married Catharina SCHONWOLF in Kaichen, Hesse 1834. In 1852 he and his family emigrated to the USA. They settled in Chesapeake City, Maryland. If you are researching these families, please contact me. VAPensel@aol.com Thank you, Ginger Pensel
