ODENBACH, WETZEL posted by Dean Wetzel on Friday, May 23, 2003

I am attempting to track my ancestors, the Karl Wetzel and Katharine Wetzel (Odenbach) family. I have several aunts and uncles who were born in Anoka between 1891 and 1910, when the family emigrated to central Alberta, Canada. I am attempting to confirm birth records etc., where they lived etc. Last year I travelled to North Dakota to meet with several Wetzels at a family reunion - we do not know if we are are not directly related to the North Dakota Wetzels. Looking forward to your response, and don't be surprised if I show up at your door step.

Hello, I am in the process of tracking down my ancestry and know that I have a great Uncle by the name of Findrew Nelson that died in WW1 overseas. I am attempting to locate the site of his grave or burial place and have had no luck yet.
I recently went to Arlington Cemetary in Virginia and they were not able to locate any records regarding my uncle.
Any information you might have in your records would be helpful in my search.
Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Curt Nelson
