I'm looking for information on any Hanel families from Germany. My ancestors lived in the Western New York/Buffalo area although I think several branches of the family moved to Pennsylvania and other places. John Hanel married Mary Rinebold. Their children were John, Josapheney, Mary Magdalene and Elizabeth. (Elizabeth was my great grandmother.) If you have any information, please contact me at marlene_cook@hotmail.com

Mary Magdalene married Louis Gardei and had Earl John, Arthur August, Ruben Alfred, Walter William Frederick, Viola Josaphine, Isabel Reva, George Washington, THomas Jefferson, Jessie Annabell and Ethel Alice.

John married Carrie ? and had Ruth, Florence and Arnie.

Josapheney married someone who's last name was Burnstaff.

Elizabeth married William J. Gleason and had Pearl Elizabeth who married Clifford Bush.
