Help. :-)
I am terribly confused by all of the similar names that plague the Cassel line.
I am descendant of:
Mary Cassel (1846-1878, who married George Sentman - b1840 or 1850), daughter of Martin D.
Cassel (1816-1897) and Catharine K. Godshall (1815-1880).
Martin was the son of George J. Cassel (1786 - 1850), and Barbara M. Detweiler (1789-1850,
daughter of Martin Detweiler of Gwynedd).
From what I can tell, George J.'s father was Hupert J. (1751-1840) - but I am not
positive. From there it all becomes a hazy mess of Yellis, Johannes, Julius, Heinrich,
Abraham and who knows who else.
Is there anyone who could make sense out of this? It does seem we are all related.
