We moved to calif. 1955. I barely remember Uncle Ping.
Seems to me he was a kindly old gentleman at the time.
I'm still looking for my great great grandparents. Wrote
Uncle ping for any info he had, but he never wrote back.
My grandmother mentioned something about "ST. Louis Abels
and Mary Watson Abel visited someone on Dearborn st in
Chicago. The Abel branch has driven me crazy for years.
Hope this helps, I can send regular tree sheets if you
like....Terrence(Terry) Robert Abel. Would love to hear
from you.
