Dierolf's of Wilkes-Barre PA and vicinity

Classification: Query
We are looking for descendants of Henry Dierolf (born June 1840) who immigrated to US from Baden Germany around 1867. His wife Catherine and three of their children were also born in Germany and may have immigrated with him or shortly after. Their children were Charles, Kate (Catherine), and Henry A. (my ggrandfather) born in Germany and Bertha (b. July 1873 in PA). Charles married Elizabeth and their children were Bertha, William, Charles, Arthur, Florence, Edward, and Ester. Bertha married John Niemeyer and they had two sons George and Harold. Henry married Anna Kintzel and their children were Emma, Henry Fredrick, George William, Edward G., Paul, Fredrick B., and my grandmother Alma Ann. Henry and Catherine are both buried in Wilkes-barre and it is believed that some of their children stayed in the area. My grandmother married and moved to Detroit MI around the Great Depression. I know that Charles and several of his children stayed in the area. A contact at Good Shephard Lutheran Church said that Ester died within the last 10 years and lived her whole life in Wilkes-barre. The Henry Dierolf family owned a blacksmith shop and store on Canal Street and lived on Kidder Street when he died. His son Charles and family lived there in 1910 Census while Catherine moved in with her daughter Bertha. We are looking for our cousins! Where are you???
