My grandmother, Jeanne Etzel Stover, was one daughter of John and Anna Etzel, who had a farm in Clarion, PA (Western PA, near Oil City, north of Butler about an hour). She had several sisters and brothers including Evelyn, Frank, George, and several whose names I cannot find, though I know they all stayed in the area (Clarion, Oil City, etc).
I believe John Etzel (Jeanne's father) was born 12/26/1890. HIS father was William Etzel born 1858 in Hesse, Germany. Wililams father was obviously also born in Germany and probably around the 1840s.
I would enjoy hearing from any of you about this.
