Subject: WEHRLE connections?
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 08:59:06 EDT


Hi all,

My name is Cynthia Schrage. I'm new to this list, and I'm hoping for some
answers, but we'll have to see!

After concentrating on my father lines, I'm ready for Mom's.

I'm looking for WEHRLE connections in Williams County, especially Edgerton,
Ohio. My mother was Harriet Ursula WEHRLE and her parents were Ambrose WEHRLE
and Viola GOEBEL. I believe I still have a Great Aunt Agnes (maiden name
GOEBEL) who lives in the Edgerton Nursing Home, but I could be mistaken. She
would certainly be over 100 now.

I remember going to Chicken Dinners at the St. Mary's Church Catholic Church
in Edgerton as a child and meeting all sorts of people there whom we were
related to. I'm sure it's probably true. Edgerton is not large, and Williams
County is not extensively populated, so it's entirely possible that we were
distantly related to nearly everyone there.

As you can see, I'm really excited about this. My mother died youthfully, and
there seems to be no one left to turn to, to get the "old family stories".
Please help me recover this part of my heritage to pass down to my own
daughter.
