Hi Sharon,
I had a heck of a time getting back to you. The "reply to this message" in the message notification from Ancestry kept telling me I was not a member or properly signed in to Ancestry. From now please contact me directly at

I have much more on the Hechler family to share. Rudolph had a family burial ground on his tract of land and I am researching the burial ground. The information about the grandson was written right in the deed. I'd love know more about that grandson who was a "Bern" but his mother's surname was different.
