Hi Glenn, this is a late response to your message hoping you still frequent the message board? I agree the Essel surname is not a common one & paraphraising my late father "all Essel's are related". Whether this is true is debatable. If you would like contact me at dandbessel@yahoo.com, putting "Essel" as the subject will ensure I open said email.

Looking for descendants of George & Katie Assel mid 1800's Pittsburgh, PA

Hello,

I'm looking for descendants of George and Katherine Assel, who emigrated from Bavaria, Germany to Pittsburgh, PA around 1880. Their children were:
Frederick (b.1855) married Wilhelmina
Valentine (b.1860) married Wilhelmina
Michael (b.1862)
Paul (b.1867) married Katherine
and perhaps a George Jr.

The Frederick Assel branch was later changed to Essel.

Thank you,
Tambra Davis
