Hello, I appreciate you wrote this post some 9 years ago......but I have just discovered it.
My name is Maureen Baxter (nee Gefaell and live in England.
My Father was George Gefaell. My eldest know ancester was an Ulrich Gefaell, born 1800, died 1858! I have full details of family history since Ulrich but know nothing of his parents, simblings or place of birth or death.
I wonder if there may be a connection with your Ulrich Gfeller...Given his date of birth, he may be the Father of our Ulrich? Do you have any further information that you could share with me please, as I am eager to research ancesters of Ulrich....who we believe may have originated from Baden Germany. I have since discovered many other Gefaell families, but yet to find the connection. I would appreciate your reply. Regards Maureen.
