Hi there,
Yes, I know the post. Jo Ermel is my husband's second cousins wife. :-)
I was just hoping for some confirmation. I have a reason to believe that the names may (no sources yet though) be Johann Ludwig Ermel and Marie Barbara Scheuer. It's exhausting trying to track this stuff down when we can't find a lead. I feel that Aunt Emma's Bible has the spellings for the names phonetically. Also, if they (Ludvig and Barb) used their middle names, she of course wouldn't have written the first names.
So..... you and I are related by marriage! Wow! How nice to meet you. My husband is a direct descendant of Martin Ermel. Martin had a son named Philip who is my husband's maternal grandfather.
We have a brand spanking new webpage with our info on it here at rootsweb. Here's the link:
