Does everyone agree that our Agners came from Switzerland? I have a friend from Switzerland who says the "original" spelling is still in the phone book in Switzerland. Has anyone done research there? Johannes & Margarita had a daughter Dorothea who m Philip Varble. Their son Henry m Margaret Admire. A son Philip m Eda Spilman in KY 1812 and moved to Tazewell Co, IL in 1832. Their daughter, Nancy m Elmore Shoemaker. Daughter Eda m Daniel Henry Seaman in Washington, Tazewell Co., IL and later moved to NE where my Grandmother, Effie Seaman Nelson was born. My Mother, Mildred Nelson Peterson isnow 97, still living in her own home in NE.
