Elizabeth Braun Crist, wife of Simon Crist, was born to Johannes Braun/John Brown and Anna Maria GRAUEL in Penn. Jacob Bollenbaugh married a GRAUEL and Susannah Crist, d/o Simon and Elizabeth married their son Jacob Bollenbaugh. There are Grauel families in Penn. in the area that so many Bloom tp families were from. Grauel families went to Hancock co and surrounding counties, when Crist families also traveled to Hancock co. Would like to hear from anyone with information on these Grauel families. Crowell is a common spelling change for the surname too. Margaret Calvin
