I am interested in finding information about the Philip Weitzel family.  Philip was born in 1804,  His wife Margaretha was born about 1800.  Their children John (b. 02 Feb 1837), Theresia (b. 15 Oct 1838), and Lucia (b. 06 Dec 1842) were from Fulda, Hesse, Germany.  They settled in Mercer County, Ohio in 1848.

  Get it while it's hot!

Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by the unorganized boxes of papers, and un-filed documents on my computer.  I can only imagine how much easier my life and my research would be if I took the time to get myself organized.
