Debra This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you! This is the right family. Peter Danner I did not know, but I did hear that there was an Ann Brady in the line as there was some reason to think she was related to the photographer Matthew Brady. This is a perfect fit. My Grandfather was Edward ( Edgar) b. 1885. I know also that we are related to the Kimmel Family--Jennie and Carrie Danner married Kimmel brothers who lived in Lemoyne. I appreciate this so much. Now, if I can get back beyond Peter, I will have traced the line back to Dieter. I know that he is correct, as his name and the name of the ship were found in my Grandfather's personal effects. Unfortunately, there was no other family information recorded. L. In a message dated 9/12/2009 3:53:01 P.M.
