It's been a long time since anyone opened a thread here, so I thought I'd try. Are there any Pennsylvania or Ohio Elbels out there? I am descended from a family of Elbels who came to Pittsburgh and then to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. The parents were Heinrich Gottlieb Elbel and Maria Sophia Bauer from Saxony; they had children, Edward, Gustavus, Louis, Bertha, and Pauline. Gustavus lived in Pittsburgh, but moved to Canton, Ohio and became rather successful.
I believe Edward and Louis both became farmers in Jefferson and Indiana County.

Edward married Regina Reno or Renno, Louis married Sara Catherine Henry, Gustavus married Elizabeth Anderegg from Switzerland, Bertha married Philip Smith, and Pauline married Henry Wolf. I am a direct descendant of the Smith line.

I have a bit of info on this family, but would love to have more!
