HERMAN HARTFIELD PHOTO - OWOSSO, MI

Dear Janet,
That may be a picture of one of my husband's family members.There was a "Herman" in his family tree.Although the name spelling is different, I think, because of the geographical location, it is probably a family member.My husband's Hartfiel relation primarily settled in the Wayne Co/ Detroit area.I can't tell you how many times a "d" is inadvertently added to our surname.It stands to reason that an ancestor would have anglicized his German name to not only fit in better, but also save himself the hassle.Let me know if you still have the picture.I'm willing to pay the $3 just to see if it's a relative.
Thanks,
Susan Hartfiel
