Do you have your CASSEL genealogy database on-line where I can look through it? I'd love to match our information. Remember, my "public" genealogy database is on WorldConnect through RootsWeb at the following address: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=kcgoodman I found Roy CASSEL (or he found me?) on the Internet. I connected with him last summer and he sent me a typed genealogy for the CASSEL family. His great, great grandfather was Joseph Wiley CASSEL. I've found inconsisencies in the data and yet it also provided many answers. If you email me your mailing address, I'll send you a copy. My direct email address is kcgoodman@msn.com. Carol BISHOP is also a CASSEL researcher and she has lots of CASSEL information on-line through Ancestry.com. I've tried to research the Wayne Co, Ohio records on line with little luck. I think this one will require a road trip. I have two branches on my mother's side who also came through Ohio so it will not be an effort lost. I too believe Jacob G CASSEL came from Wayne Co, Ohio and that he died in Eau Galle, Wisconsin. His wife, Jane NOLAND CASSEL, died in Iowa and is buried in Bethel Cemetery, Mallory, Clayton Co, Iowa. There are no other CASSEL family members in the cemetery. I was not aware of a RAITT family connection to the CASSEL family. It may be an interpretation of the RAITZ name, but I'm not sure. Is the CASSEL/MEIER book by Jim MEIER published? If so, would you provide me with the information? If not, would you tell me how I might obtain a copy? I'm happy to pay for all copying costs. Thanks for the info, let's keep in touch Kathy
