Sue: Thanks for taking the lead on this. Cousin Jeff Abels, great grandson of David Alexander and Marie Dorothea Abels.
The senior Horgan branch (Linda Lederer Horgan and spouse William) moved to Hawaii in 2004. Lisa Horgan, our daughter, lives in Burlingame, California.
Three siblings emigrated to America from Bohemia before the Civil War leaving their parents and seven other siblings behind. They were Joachim (Charles) Abels (1818-1892), David Alexander Abels (1826-1884),and Marie Abels Lederer (1833-1909). Many descendents live across the United States named Abels, Lederer, Strauss,Bayer,Antevil,and Horgan among others.We are just starting to reconnect the branches of the family that haven't met in iver one hundred years.
