This short history is the result of approximately twenty-five years research by both authors, who are husband and wife. During their travels, from California to Florida and from Texas to Washington D.C., we gathered information, visited and corresponded with many, and were fortunate to be able to go to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, to further search for ancestral information.
