Thank you to all who responded. Your information was quite interesting and sheds some light on immigrant settlement patterns in the States for this particular Canadian. Thank you. I have found one branch, Peter, which settled in Seneca County and others, namely Wippel, Eichinger, Fruth and Christmann which settled in other parts of Ohio, including the pomeroy area. Unfortunately, Canadian school geography lessons did not cover these areas, so I don't know exactly where they would be. Elsa Kahler Best wishes from Canada
