Surnames: Wessel, Arnaman
Below is the information I have on my g-grandfather Wessel's line fo the family. Working backwards Karen (Griggs) Sponsler is my mother. Margie Louise (Wessel) Griggs is my grandmother. James Alvaa Wessel was my great-grandfather. Francis Edward was my gg-grandfather. Augustus Wessel was my ggg-grandfather and Heinrich Christian Wessel was my gggg-grandfather. I would like to go on back farther if I could. I would also like to find out more information about these members of my family. I am also trying to find out more information on my ggg-grandmother Rachel Christine Arnaman and her family.
Thanks,
PJ
