Hi Lois, If it's not much trouble, I'd like a copy of your Diehl work! I'm from the Balthasar line. Several of us did a lot of research several years ago on that family. Traced them back to Zeilbach. I'll compare your stuff to ours and see if I can add to ours!! By the way, I FINALLY found my GGGrandfather, John RIES, in Germany. Now if I can only find my Irish Caltholics in Ireland!!!
