had the great grandaunts married or died single? c'mon, tell the whole story. lol Ruth

The finding of the aforementioned missing great grandaunts (my wife's great grandaunts) really was not a major accomplishment, I did not discover a miracle skill to knock down any walls...hence saying they were hiding in plain site. But, it gave my wife an opportunity to exclaim "I told you so". Carole thought the information may have been noted in one of the family bibles, it was.

Hello Ellis: I found the same situation with the Bowsers. Contrary to the commonly held belief that the family name was originally "Bauser" in the old country, I've come to the conclusion that our immigrant ancestor was actually Johannes Buser, baptized Jan. 17, 1734 in or near the village of Ziefen in Canton Basel, Switzerland. I've recently worked up a three page report regarding how I came to that conclusion if you or anyone on the list is interested. It's interesting to know that John Adam I and Andrew Dietle (whatever spelling) were brothers. I assume you've traced both back to Bavaria. Lannie and Dana Dietle's book, written in 1996, doesn't mention Andrew. I corresponded quite a bit with Lannie in the early 90's when he was working on the book, but lost touch with him several years ago. The book is not indexed so not easily searched, but I think the Bowsers only connect to the Dietles through John Adam Dietle II. I don't recall that they intermarried with descendants of Nicholas Dietle. It appears to me Andrew Dietle may not have had any sons. Do you know of any? My thought regarding the land transaction in 1849 when he bought 73 acres and sold it off within three years was that maybe he had no sons, and sold it to son-in-laws?

I have no information about this/these families, but wanted to make a comment. Germans give their children multiple names and call them usually by their 2nd name. I looked and looked for Anton Schroeder to no avail. I found on a SS application of his son that his "real" 1st name was Heinrich. Perhaps your ladies are listed but not by the name they were called. Just a thought.

Hello Ellis: I have a family history of the Dietle family of Greenville Twp. in Somerset County. The family descends from a John Adam Dietle born in Bavaria 1806. I checked the book for female descendants named Julia and Magdalena, and there were none. John Adam's and his descendants appear to be the only Dietle families in Somerset County in early census records. Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellis L. and Carole G.

Finding those who married into each and merged the various spellings.

We have no idea who either, Magdalena, born abt. 1851 or Julianne, born abt. 1856 married. We were hopeful someone may have a unconnected lady married to a family member who might fit, that we could look-into, if she could be the missing great-grandaunt. Thank you.

I think you can eliminate "Dietle" and variations of that surname where Diehl or Deal is concerned. The Dietles were a completely different family from the Diehls. Those with the "Deal" spelling are more numerous in Somerset County, PA. Regarding early census records, you'll find the the surname spelled according to the census taker's "best guess". I don't think you'll find Dietle used for Diehl or Deal. The Dietles are well documented. I and others on the list have a good bit of information on the Diehls from the Cove, Accident area which was part of Selbysport District in 1850, but I've not found a Julia and Magdalena Diehl being sisters. Perhaps if you give the sources for your information (census records, who they married, etc.), someone on the list might be able to help.
