I would like to contact Susan Sarauer who posted on this message board in 2000. The listed e-mail comes back. My Great grandmother Emelia Abraham was Bertha Kerl's sister.
Parents were Wm. Fred. Hell and Wilhelmine Kruger Hell, came to Janesville, WI in about 1881. Bertha's children include William who married a Neitzel, Paul who married Neitzel, Henry, Bernard, George, Ray, etc. I think we might have a connection
