I am a descendant of John Bilter. I am the daughter of William M. Brown. Who is the son of Harry M. Brown and Ruth Bilter Brown. I tried to email Hower Bitler howbit@aol.com, email no longer connected. Please contact me if you see this message. I have just started working on my family tree. I may have some information that my help you. Some of the date need to be changed. But, I was happy to see the family on the list.
Thanks,
Dayna Brown Smith

I found a message on the McNeil message board that mentioned Libby McNeil as a member of your ancestry. I am searching for information regarding the Libby McNeil who married Harry Stenzel in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, in the early 1900's.
If you have this person in your database, please contact me. A link between these two could make us somehow related.
Thank you,
Richard B. Stenzel

Richard please let me know where this message board with information with my family to libby mcneil. I can't find a libby mcneil in my date. But, that does not mean it is not there. E-mail me if you like. Keep in touch.

Hower Ellsworth Bitler, Jr. died on 19 March, 20002 in Riverview, Florida. He had been helping me with my Billmeyer family tree since his grandfather, William Lloyd Bitler, married Rosa Alverna Billmeyer. I don't have much on the Bitler family but what little I have I'm willing to share.

I too attempted to contact Hower Bitler before checking here to learn he is deceased.
I have a letter written by Charlotte Ammerman dated March 29th 1846 in Amanda, Oh to Maryann Yetter in Catawissa, PA whom she addresses as cousin. (Maryann's brother, Samuel B. Yetter, married the sister, Rebecca Campbell, of my g-g-grandfather, Amos Campbell. I understand the parents of Maryann and Samuel were Daniel Yetter and Sarah Bitler.) According to the information on Hower's site, a Charlotte Bitler married William Oliver Ammerman. And in Charlotte's letter she mentions their children, Isadore, Edward Porter and Alonzo Bitler so am sure we are together at that point. But I did not find anything on the site to indicate a Sarah Bitler marrying a Daniel Yetter. So I am trying to establish that relationship! Can anyone help me out in that area?
Thanks

Hope this helps.

Dayna, this I have. What I am trying to figure out is how Charlotte (who married William Ammerman) is related to Maryann Yetter. Hower Bitler indicated her last name was Bitler so wondered if she may be the daughter of one of Sarah Bitler's brothers (Samuel or Joseph?) maybe?
