I can't seem to post a repy so I will post a new message. The Michael Hild that Tammy Russel is speaking of is the brother to my great-great grandfather Adam Hild, born in 1844 in Hessen Darmstadt Germany. And the John William Hild married to Anna Marie had eight children. Also Michael Hild had 10 children not the 7 you had posted. If you would like more information feel free to e-mail me at kinserwhiteoak@hotmail.com
