Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4813 Surname: Markel ------------------------- I was born a Markel, in York Pa. Parents split up when I was very young. I don't remember my dad's parents, except for calling them NanNan and Pappa Markel. My father's name is Robert Eugene Markel and my mother's name is Jane Seese. As far as I know my father is still alive. I am not sure where he was born. Twenty years ago we met up and the only information I can remember that he gave me is that his birth month is January and the day is mid month to the end of the month, and the year is somewhere between 1928 and 1933. And I do know that he was a twin. But his twin sister died, when and how I do not know. Please, any information you can find out on what my paternal grandparents would be gratefully appreciated. From what I can remember, I had a very close relationship with my father and his parents, and then it all went away.
