Thank you so much for your help.It was my understanding that there were two brothers from Germany that came to the area, but it turns out, they had siblings!So, there were five children of Johann Gotfried.*(Is it Johann Gotfried, or Gotfried Johann?)I am not sure about Charles and Ernstina, but I know that Paul would have been Paul Frank.It just thought it funny that Herman had a grandson named Frank J. Scheffel, when there was a "Frank J." who was his brother!
I am a direct descendant of Frank J., the grandson of Herman.Do you have any information on the family of Charles and Ernstina?I would like to know more about your family too.I can provide you all the information I have in Adobe PDF files.With you living in Germany right now, I am sure we can grow this tree!Let's exchange emails:mine is [email protected]
