Thank you! Wow... I have a probable Hamler progenitor, John Hamler, who was married to Samuel Wills's daughter in the late 1700's (when the spelling our our Hamler last name was more fluid.) In fact, I have heard and have *some* information about a modern Victoria Hamler; so sorry to her that she passed away... This obituary contains many weirdly-connected things: 1.) I live in Arizona, and 2.) one of my Dad's (Ken Hamler's) best friends was named Gus... I will definitely look into this more! Thanks so much...
