Hi there,
I believe you and I are cousins; Paul Elbel's grandfather and my great-great-great grandmother Bertha (Elbel) Smith were brother and sister. I've been working on the Elbel genealogy for the past few years, so if you'd be interested in exchanging info, please contact me at
jdsmith0027@hotmail.com; I'd be happy to hear from you.
J.D.
