This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ethen, Schafer, Loesch, Steidl Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TJB.2ACI/7.211.220.868.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi Kal, I've heard from a number of people concerning my Ethen-related post. This is not a direct line for me so my information is old, secondhand and, evidently, suspect. It appears Peter Ethen married Magdalena Schafer, Anna Loesch, and Elizabeth Steidl, in that order. (I now don't know who Anna Margaretha Schaefer married.) I had Magdalena listed as marrying Henry Ethen (brother to Peter) but, based on two other messages I received, Henry either never existed or never married! Your post refers to a Henry one generation later (son of Peter) and there appears to be agreement about who your Henry married. My interest is the Schafer family; perhaps you have information on it?
