Hello Ross, I've recently discovered about 45 new family members. 44 from Uder, Germany and 1 from Thalwenden, Germany, less than 2 miles from Uder. It turns out that my GGGGGG Grandfather, Joannes Martinus Biel, was born in Thalwenden in 1686. I also know that there is at least 1 Biel and 1 Grebenstein still living in Thalwenden, which has a population of about 380 people. I recently sent out a few feelers to Thalwenden to see what I can uncover.
