According to the records we recieved from his home town in Bettingen, Germany going back to 1690 I do not see a George. There may have been a George born in the U.S. by another relative not listed in our records. We lost the trail in Illinois where there seem to be a lot of Fandels possibly Nicholas's brothers.
