Ruth, Happy holidays to you and yours. I too live in IL -- Addison in DuPage County. I too have a connection in Walduln. My NOCK line begins there. Thought I'd run this line by you since you feel everyone is probably related to everyone else. I'm guessing he married both wives in Kappelrodeck. Joesph NOCK is the only ancestor I've found so far in Walduln. Beverly Mack Zanon 1. Joseph1 Nock was born 12 Apr 1705 in Walduln, Germany, and died 24 Jun 1762 in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany. He married (1) Magadelana Siffermann. She was born 1724, and died 1756. He married (2) Anna Marie Baudendistel. She was born 15 Nov 1756 in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany. Notes for Joseph Nock: Nock: alem. Short form for the old first name Nôtkêr, also after the name "Nock" for a roundish hill. (1845 George Nok, 1938 Michael Nock) Child of Joseph Nock and Magadelana Siffermann is: 2 i. Ignaz2 Nock, born 11 May 1743 in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany; died 28 Aug 1818. He married (1) Ephrosina Schaible 22 Nov 1762. He married (2) Regina Vogt 19 Sep 1791 in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany; died 18 Mar 1837 in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany.
