From her research (which I have but will only give general dates here) two Von Sitler son's (mathias and Simon/or Jacob) came over in the 1500's and had farms in the Baltimore area. There is a Von Sitler Castle on the Rhine. In her research and contact with the German government, she would have to provide birth and death documents AND gather rubbings of tomb stones if the death certificates were not available. Since each of these brothers had many children..the task by the 1950's was just impossible to do. I am a decendant of Mathias Sitler. Might this help?

Your grandmother Margaret is apparently my first cousin Margaret Herberger. I have some things that you may or may not have. One from the Matthias Sitler Society of Baltimore, two articles that appeared in The Greensburg Standard of minutes of meetings held by the Society, and a transcript of the Last Will and Testament of Matthias Sitler. Let me know if you are interested.
