I am researching two distinct families but have reached a point of indecision. The two families I am sure are joined, but the names and dates are as yet not quite enough to proceed with the "merge" button. I am going to list the separate trees following this note in the hope that someone may recognize something in their lines that will help. Or, with advise as to the next step. The point I believe they join is under the Michael DIEHL listed at the beginning of the first outline and at the end of the second outline. Thanks for any help in advance, George Diehl Seattle, WA ********************************************************** Descendants of Michael Diehl 1 Michael DIEHL ..... 2 Joeseph DIEHL b: June 29, 1810 d: June 25, 1859 in Richfield, Juanita Co, Pa ......... +Mary b: September 30, 1811 d: May 23, 1855 in Richfield, Juniita Co, Pa ............ 3 Ellen DIEHL ................ +James FORRY ............ 3 Catherine DIEHL ................ +Tobias STROUP ............ 3 Lydia DIEHL ............ 3 Susannah DIEHL ............ 3 Issac DIEHL b: October 23, 1833 in Richfield, Synder Co, Pa d: June 07, 1862 in Richfield, Synder Co, Pa ................ +Susanna STROUP b: June 23, 1838 in Richfield, Synder Co, PA d: January 19, 1915 ............ 3 George DIEHL b: August 1837 in Richfield, Juanita Co, Pa d: September 10, 1915 in Buchanan, Mich ................ +Elizabeth WELLER b: 1849 d: 1913 ............ *2nd Wife of George Diehl: ................ +Amelia MARTIN b: November 14, 1845 in Freeburg, Synder Co, PA d: October 02, 1875 in Freeburg , Synder Co. ............ 3 Sarah DIEHL b: May 06, 1846 in Richfield, Synder Co., Pa d: March 11, 1887 in Wisconsin ................ +Gideon LAUVER b: Abt. 1828 in Pennsylvania d: in Elkhart, Elkhart Co, IN ******************************************************************* Descendants of Johannes (John) Diehl, Sr 1 Johannes (John) DIEHL, Sr .. +Elizabeth BERNHARDINA ..... 2 Philip Henrich DIEHL b: May 02, 1744 ......... +SOPHIA ............ 3 Johann Philip DIEHL b: September 13, 1775 ............ 3 John Peter DIEHL b: September 15, 1779 ..... 2 Anna Maria DIEHL b: September 20, 1746 in Longswamp twp, Berks Co., PA ......... +John Jacob ARTER, Sr b: Abt. 1739 in Germany d: Abt. 1809 ............ 3 Abraham ARTER, Sr b: October 01, 1775 in MD ................ +Anna MARIA ............ 3 Elizabeth ARTER b: December 04, 1777 ................ +John MARTZ ............ 3 John Jacob ARTER, Jr b: January 17, 1780 ................ +Sarah REED ............ 3 Philip ARTER b: April 30, 1782 ................ +Elizabeth LEIBY b: April 27, 1778 d: March 17, 1872 ............ 3 Maria ARTER b: Abt. 1783 ................ +John ADAMS ............ 3 William ARTER, Sr b: Abt. 1784 in Longswamp, Berks Co. or Shamokin twp., Nthd Co, PA d: Bef.
