My grandfather is Abraham Otterbein, born August 10, 1892 in Blake, Huron County, Ontario. He is a great grandson of Heinrich Otterbein, born March 3, 1806 in Germany. Heinrich, and at least 2 of his brothers, emigrated to Waterloo County, Ontario in the 1840's and 1850's.

My research leads me to believe that most, if not all, of the Otterbeins living in Ontario during the mid 1800's, are related. I would like to exchange information with anyone researching this family. Thank you!

My new email address (as of January 2012) is calderjb@bell.net

Hi Susan,

Bill was my grandfather and George is my Dad.

We can probably help answer some questions.

Hi Tanya,
I am very excited that you have chosen to contact me. We can continue this conversation privately, if you wish.
You can reach me at susan.inwood@hotmail.com

If I am correct, your Dad and my husband are first cousins.
