I do still dig some on the genealogy, just havent had much time lately. I do know that the VON in the name is that Johan was given land by Empereor Leopold from Germany and his two sons. Being given land gave him the VON in his name. There is a Castle attached to this but I will have to look up the name and send it to you. I know it starts with a "H". You can send me info to aggieatheart911@yahoo.com Thanks Robin Detrick Adair Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
