Surnames: Harmeling, Diersing Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3h.2ADE/677.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Julie, Perhaps your Katherine could be related to my J. Mary Harmeling who married George Diersing. My J. Mary Harmeling Diersing was born about 1851 in Germany. She and her husband, George, owned a large dairy farm in the Cumminsville area of Cincinnati, Ohio. They had a large family. My great-grandmother, Mary Ann Diersing, was their first-born child, born in October, 1873. I heard that George sold newspapers when he was 9 years old and I believe he and his family lived in Cincinnati at the time. Please write me at vlp681@yahoo.com. I'd be glad to share information. Thanks.
