Mettlers Bakersfield, Kern County, CA
Hi,
I'm researching my grandmother's family, the Mettlers of Kern County, CA.Her father's name was Emmanuel, and he and his brothers were very successful potato farmers.The little town of Mettler, CA, was named after his brother William.I know there were from 12 to 14 children in their family.I know that there was some intermarriage with the Schnaidt family.I believe the Mettler family had come from the German colonies of Russia by way of South Dakota.

Her name was Gertrude, and she was born in Lodi in 1914.Does anyone have any information about these Mettlers or Schnaidts?
