Michaele, There is a discussion about the Windle/Wendel family in BC Holtzclaw's, Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714-1750, pgs. 73-82. He does discuss Valentine Wendel and states that his son, John, married his cousin, Catherine Windle, the daughter of John Windle--he's the son of Christopher Wendel, Valentine's brother. Their marriage bond is in Shenandoah County with a marriage date of 10 Feb 1790. He goes on to state that all 3 brothers that came to America, Augustine, Christopher and Valentine, were naturalized on 5 May 1747 in Frederick Co., VA, "being German Protestants who had lived in Virginia over 7 years, and that they had all taken the sacrament in preparation for naturalization from Rev. Samuel Klug (who was the second pastor of Hebron Lutheran Church)". He notes that this record is located in Frederick County Order Book 2, p. 238. Hopefully, you can get this record!! I hope this helps and let us know what you find! Barb Price In a message dated 7/11/2010 8:12:20 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: When did this survey take place? I am descended from a Johan Valentine Windell/Wendel (1711-1787) and a John Snapp (1695-1762). Valentine was in Frederick Co. in 1737 then shortly thereafter moved to Shenandoah Co. John was in Frederick Co. by 1735 until his death. He had a son named John Jr. but I don't know anything else about him. Could those mentioned in the survey have been the same as my my ancestors?

This was being done with the Lutheran Church. Is the Dutch Chappel the same as the Society of Dutch Protestants as a religion. Or the Dutch Chappel a part of the facility that the Lutherans and Dutch Protestants seem to be preparing to erect? This is the first time I have come across a reference to the Society of Dutch Protestants. Chocy If you refer to a Germanna descendant, include a link to your on-line data. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
