CCI Listmates: I have cut and pasted a new found additional line to my database below in hopes that it will help flush out some new cousins in CCI. My ggg grandmother is listed in #1 as Marie Margarethe KASER whose second husband, Ulrich FATZER is my ggg grandfather; Johan Kaspar WIEDENKELLER was, obviously, her first, making her WIEDENKELLER descendants my "half cousins". Since there are a number of CCI surnames mentioned in this line, I did not bother listing them separately (perhaps I should have). This will make it somewhat fun for you to hunt for your surnames of interest! I just stumbled on this line last week! If you are connected to this family, I would love to hear from you! - Tom Wilson Boca Raton, Florida Also searching in CCI for: FATZER, ZIMMERMAN & STREITZ / STRIETZ Descendants of Johan Kaspar Wiedenkeller Generation No. 1 1.
