Hi Cindy,
My father-in-law was John Ermel, son of Martin Ermel, and my husband's name is Ronald. I, too, have hit a deadend with the Ermel family. If, or when you find more info, please let me know. I did notice that a response from Gary claims to have a lot more info. I would love to be able to find out exactly what books to which he is referring so that I could order them also. If you have gotten that info, please forward.
Thanks,
Elna (Smith) Ermel
