Hello! Mary, I have DRESSLERS in my family but have very little info and have not as yet pursued that line. Here it is: I have a DRESSLER who married Charlotte Mae ZEIDERS. (Zeiders is one of my direct lines) I have a female DRESSLER who married Eli COX (Cox is both a maternal AND paternal direct line) I have a Eva DRESSLER who married Peter BASTRESS I have a Mary Jane DRESSLER born in Monroe Township, Juniata Co. Most important, my grandfather's sister (my gt aunt) married Elmer DRESSLER b: 1881, d: 1 Jan 1960 in an auto accident and is buried in Richfield, Juniata Co. That's it. If anything rings a bell, let me know. We must connect somewhere along the "line"!
