Dear Turkey/Dost, [I chose to reply to your email on the board, because THIS family is still confusing and confounding researchers, INCLUDING MYSELF.....;=) Maybe someone else can "weigh in," also. Turkey/Dost. . . . I don't know if this will help you, and I haven't seen it put this extensively on the board in a long time. But THE FOLLOWING is the way I'VE put it together, and I spent quite of bit of time putting this extensive family together---I don't think ANY TWO people have put it ALL TOGETHER the SAME WAY---TWICE, which is interesting!! Someone, please show me a more plausible listing, and please list some of your resources for us. Thanks. In the meantime, I have listed Conrad STROHL and Rosina (BOCK) as the parents of Nicholas C. STROHL, and I chose Nicholas "C" as their son because the baptism AND his Date of Birth, corresponds to Nicholas "C"'s known DOB--from his headstone---I visited the stone myself. NOW, can anyone tell me CONRAD's parents????? On the other hand, there is another Nicholas---Nicholas "D" STROHL. I've chosen HIM, as well as Johann Adam STROHL, born 1800, and Peter STROHL, born 1792, as the sons of Daniel and Barbara STROHL; Daniel was born ca 1748, I believe. Daniel presented his son, Nicholas, for baptism on August 5, 1798, to the St. John's Union Church, Towamensing, etc. This Nicholas' date of birth is given as May 18, 1798, which we just HAPPEN to know, is the same DOB listed for Nicholas "D" STROHL on his headstone! Throughout the censuses, he is also listed as, N.T. Finally, a "Nicholas STROHL presented Petition for Admin of [estate] of the late Daniel STROHL, Towamensing Twp, died intestate, left [8] children to wit: . ." ---Catherine, Polly, Betsey, Molly, Susanna, Marie, Nicholas, Peter---I have also included Johann Adam as one of his children for a couple other reasons, including Johann's Baptism record listing Nicholas and Barbara as parents, and a book reference from L. Wesley ARGO. ======================================== As for the Nicholas C.
