My grandmother Susan Dettra was Bens sister. Susan married Paul Goodolf of Lansdale PA. Ben would be my great uncle. If you could tell me anything on the Dettra side of the family it would be greatly appreciated. It appears that the Dettra name was pronounced and spelled differently in previous years. I am hoping you can shed some light on this. I have in the past years been trying to learn more about the family history, and now that I am retired I can devote more time to researching the family. I only wish I would have seen this when it was previously written. I hope you are doing well and this e-mail gets to you.
