Charles Saal & Mayme (Siefertsen) Saal
Hello everyone,
I am researching my family history. My name is Jeremy N. Saal. I am the son of Jeffrey Saal. His mother's name was Gretchen (Saal) Valoe. Her parents were Charles Saal and Mayme (Siefertsen) Saal. Her parents were Casper and Helena Siefertsen, who came from Finland.
I just recently learned that my name was changed from Saalfield to Saal a few generations back.
If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day!
Jeremy N. Saal

Concerning the name Valoe.. where was your family from on that side? We have been trying to research that name and we can't find any information about it anywhere. Hope you're finding info out for what you need :)

Hi Lara,
I have some information about the Valoe family. My grandmother, the late Gretchen Valoe, was married to Arthur Leon Valoe. His nickname is, "Grandpa Joe." They had two children together, (my aunts), JoAnn Florence Valoe and Sandra Faye Valoe. They have numerous children and a couple of grandchildren.
Grandpa Joe is still alive and is living in the Milwaukee, WI area. I believe that the suburb is Cudahy. I do not have any information on where the family came from. I do have names and other information on his decendants. You might try to look him up and give him a call. He is a very nice guy.
If you need any additional information just let me know.
Good luck!
Jeremy

Jeremy-
Haha, ok, I thought that the name Gretchen sounded familiar. I showed this to my mom and it turns out her Uncle is "Grandpa Joe." He is my grandmother's brother. Who are your parents? We don't know anything about my great-grandfather, so that's where we're trying to find out information. You would probably know less than we do though. We'll keep looking though! :)

Hi Lara,
My parents are Jeffrey L. Saal and Kathleen E. Saal-Kerans. My father took my grandmothers maiden name. Jeffrey was Gretchen's oldest child. Hopefully, Joe will be able to provide more information.
Good luck on your research!
