Wylene, I read your post & although I can't help you with your Daniel Wetzel, I do have 4 in my data from the Northampton & Berks Co., areas. Eva Elizabeth Wetzel b: 1-27-1786 Berks Co. m: Daniel Schankweiler Mary Ann Wetzel b: 1819 Adams Co. Pa m: Henry F Schankweiler Elizabeth Wetzel b: 1796 m: Jacob Schankweiler Emanuel Wetzel b: ca 1845 m: Lavina Kiehl Maybe they tie in with your Daniel some way. I don't have my Wetzel's connected to each other as yet - but still hoping to make a connection some day! Reta In a message dated 1/6/2007 3:34:01 P.M.

He was on the Bucks Co., PA census for all of his married life, but I have reason to belive his folks were from Northampton some where. Can anyone help me. Where can I find the old wills, estate records, land documents? Any and all help most appriciated. Wylene
