Hi Frank and Vince, I missed the email of Frank's about Spaniol. I also have Schmit, Philipi and Wilhelm in my family. They are from Osburg, Trier area and Selbach. There are also Spaniol in Osburg. I am looking for Stephan Spaniol, date and place of birth unknown. On 07.09.1854 in Illlinois he married Mararet Neufing, b. 14.02.1826 in Osburg, Trier. Four children all born Illinois, J. Jacob Peter Spaniol b. 1855, Mathew Martin b. 1857, and twins, Louisa Sophie b. 1860 and William Robert b. 1860. Frank, where is your Wilhelm family from ? Karen Adams, Seattle
