Hi Eileen, Great to see your response. I've printed this information out and just might look into it some day. So fascinating. Still putting the Diehl and Hederich (Deal/Hetrick) charts together--have about 70 of them. I'm getting anxious to finish these up so I can send them out to the cousins--Just wish the cousins in Garrett County were computer literate--Maybe I'll send one hard copy and a CD ;o) That way they could make as many copies as they want. Very expensive to snail mail--I usually mail out 15-20 packages. Every time I run across that Zeilbach information I think of you and Shirley and how much help the two of you were in getting me to the source in Germany that had all of our lineage. Thanks again so much. Lois In a message dated 9/5/2006 8:18:34 A.M.

Although the cost can be pricey it would certainly lay to rest some of the speculation.
