Hi Tony, Thanks for all your assistance. I'm confused about the line myself. Sometimes it looks like it adds up and the next time it looks confusing. On top of that I've only been doing this a couple of years now. Not that long at all. I guess you could say, I'm still a newbie. My fathers name is Lawrence August Roedell born 4/16/1920 in Altamont. His parents were Louis Rodolph Roedell and Fannie Elizabeth Kuhns. Louis was born Nov 10, 1889 to Joseph Antonious Roedell and Mary Elvena Woll in Altamont, Illinois. Fannie was born Feb 11, 1890 to Peter Kuhns and Mary Weber in Altamont, Illinois. Thanks again, Faye
