Posted on: Gentry County Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/GentryObits/10037 Surname: Teel ------------------------- My mother Emily Ann Teel, is the daughter of Emil and Avnes Teel ( whose sister Crystal, incidentally married Ruby Teel, brother of Aaron and Emil) She still lives in the Seattle area. My sister Kristen Davey has been doing quite a bit of research on our family perhaps you have already been contacted by her. I believe she has had the most luck with the Deering line tracing it to Hugenots in France. However if you are interested I can get you her email address Thanks Karin Youngberg
