Hi, Susan. Looks like we're related!
Agnes Zeller Petersen was my grandmother.
Janet Petersen Collins is my mother.
William Zeller was my great grandfather, obviously, and I am trying to find out what
happened to him. Do you know anything about where he moved, who he remarried, if he had
more kids?
You are my mother's cousin, so I suppose we are second cousins or some other such
term.
Agnes had Janet, Dorothy and Karin.
Janet married Joseph Collins (look on my family tree) and had 5 kids.
Dorothy married Richard Huber and had 5 kids. (Dot and Dick are in the Augusta, GA area
near their oldest child, Susan.)
Karin married David Schmoyer (2nd marriage) and lives in North Carolina.
I am one of 5 children, George, Joseph (Jay), Elisabeth (Beth), Katharine (Kate-me), and
Stephen (Steve). All of us live in Maryland now. My mother is still alive. My sister,
Beth, my mother, and I all live in the Annapolis area.
Agnes passed away several years ago.
The Petersen sisters are not very close, but there is communication, from time to time. I
do have contact information, if you would like it. If you would be interested in helping
to add to my family tree, I could add you as a member and you could add some info to the
Zeller branches. Just let me know. My phone number is 410-991-9412. I am a full-time
school teacher, so usually swamped. My personal email is katecollins2003(a)hotmail.com.
I'm 51-years-old, just to give you some idea. I have 2 daughters, Molly and
Emily-Kate McGeady (22 and 19). Beth has 1 son and 1 daughter. George has 1 daughter and
1 grandson. Jay has 1 son and 1 daughter, and Steve has 2 daughters and 1 son. (I guess
that is not very helpful! If you could get someone to get you hooked up on Facebook, we
can see each other there. Get an idea of some photos.) Do you have contact with Stephen
Zeller of Staten Island, my mother's cousin? (Or your cousin,too? I'm so
confused! His mother was my mo!
ther's Aunt Julia.)
