Hi Ron,
I am very interested in information about Jacob. Which wife is your wife;s Great Grandma? I wasn't able to find any more information on the Louwesa line other than the one census entry.
Samuel Rinaldo Utzler was my grandfather. We dont know how he got the name Rinaldo-- he used to say his family came over on a pirate ship! Do you know anything about Jacob, prior to his appearance in West Wheatfield? Did your wife's family remain in Pennsylvania? I know the Utzlers were all involved in railroads--Samuel R was round house foreman in Pittsburgh til he retired.
Thanks in advance,
Judy Utzler Ermlick (
