It's been a long while since I posted my Steckel ancestors of Baden, Germany and Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, USA. Other spellings include Stickel and Steckly. I am hoping that someone else on this list is also interested in Stickel families from these areas. Descendants of George Adam Steckly Generation No. 1 1. GEORGE ADAM1 STECKLY was born Abt. 1785 in Baden, Germany. He married CATHARINE [UNKNOWN]. She was born Abt. 1784 in Baden, Germany. Child of GEORGE STECKLY and CATHARINE [UNKNOWN] is: i. CHRISTIANA2 STECKEL, b. 23 Nov 1827, Baden, Germany; d. 06 Jun 1897; m. WILLIAM WHITMAN; b. 15 May 1823, Pennsylvania, USA; d. 30 Sep 1898. They had 10 children, all of whom settled in Bucks and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania and neighboring Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. Other Steckels in that part of Bucks Co. at the time were Catherine Steckel and son Francis Steckel; Nancy Steckel; Henry & Anna Steckel; Geo. Adam & Magdalena Steckel and sons Jacob & Samuel Henry Steckel; William & Elizabeth Steckle and daughters Emma & Clarissa Steckle; and Samuel & Anne Steckle and son David Steckle. I have primary sources for all of the above information. Write if you'd like them or if you have some knowledge of eastern Pennsylvania Stickel families. Thanks for your interest. Mary Jo C.
