I can not find his wife's name and the connection to the rest buried in the cemetery in Ashboro though I believe he is related. There are not a lot of Fernsels in Indiana and Ashboro is a very small town. I will write the cemetery as I have seen the graves but at that time I was not into geneology. We now live in Florida and don't travel that much back to Indiana. Our son has been to Germany several times and thinks he has been close to his Roots and not known that this was the place. Do you live near where they are from over there? Are you a Fernsel? I wrote about Aunt Polly. Did you read my message? Are you still hunting the Indiana Fernsels?
