    3. Hi everyone, I am new to the list and am in need of a little help if possible. My GGG grandfather Peter Opel and his wife Netta and Children, Nancy, John and Peter are showing in the 1880 Census living in Short Creek, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me find them after 1880 and before that time also. I have found a couple entries but with the spelling of the surname I can't be sure its my Peter. I do know that the son Peter who is my line married a woman named Sophia who also was a german immigrant, and that they had atleast 1 child (Charles Nicholas Opel) born in Falmouth in 1887. Here is the census info from 1880: 1880 Census, Pendleton Co, Short Creek Twp, page 157: Peter OBAL, age 67 (7 is not clear; Farmer b. Germany both parent b. Germany Wife: Netta, age 65, Keeping house. B. germany; both parent b. Germany Children: Peter, 19; John 18 and Nancy, 15 all b. KY and parents above both b. Germany LDS transcription and 1880 census from Ancestory.com I also found this information but am not sure its the same man. Naturalization Record: Pendleton County, Kentucky kept in the state Archive in Frankfort. L-389:1864 Sep 05 PETER OBEL, of Hesse Cassel, aged 52, who arrived in the U.S. in 1852, made declaration of intention. If anyone has information or any ideas of where I maybe able to search for additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards, Theresa Opel
