Sandra's mention of the Kerchner site brings another point of
interest to mind. I have viewed Mr. Kerchner's work (which is extensive)and encourage
all of you to go to his home page and search the various segments of information he has
provided, some good history regarding the German immigrants. The aspect that I am
interested in is the Genealogy by DNA. If you go to Kerchner's home page and scroll
down to the DNA project indentified with the "NEW" logo, you will find a project
he is working on that is very interesting. Since our Leonhart came from the Palatinate
area I plan to contact Kerchner and present my heritage for his evaluation for his
project. If he declines I still plan to contact Family Tree DNA (
www.familytreedna.com)
for a kit for DNA testing. I will let you know what comes of this. Also, I am putting
together some information on from sources I have on Henry Cagle (I agree some of the lines
of descent appear to be a little tangled). Earl L. Cagle, Sr.!

After reading countless messages concerning the names Leonard Kegel's sons,
I started searching to see if I could come up with something that might help
us. I found the following site that explains the naming of the German and
PA German children. The address is
www.kerchner.com/nickname.htm . After
looking at the Americanized versions of some of the names, go to the very
bottom of the page and click on German Naming Customs. I think that will
explain why we might have 2 Johns or Georges or whatever in this family.
Hope it helps someone.
Sandra
