Did this Thelma Deuel play the 4-Chord Zither when she was a child or young adult?

Question

I bought a 4-Chord Zither off of ebay. On the back it has scratched into the wood "Thelma Deuel". I am trying to locate the family of said person for more information about this instrument and/or Thelma. I have found two Thelmas. One was Thelma L. Deuel and the other is Thelma R. Deuel. Did either one of these ladies ever play or want to learn how to play a Zither? Thanks in advance.

I nominate this as the most interesting question title I've ever seen.

Hi Bill, and thank you for coming to the g2g forum to introduce yourself.  I looked at Thelma Deuel's profile and found that it has been orphaned. If you upgraded to a family membership you would be able to adopt her profile and begin researching her and you might find that she is, indeed, the the Thelma you are looking for.

Welcome to WikiTree and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Hey Cheryl; Nice to meet you. I am not researching anybody that is even close to that surname. I really have enough to do researching both my mom's side and my dad's side of my family, so I really have no interest in researching any other tree that I am not even connected to. I only thought that I would offer the information out there to see if any of her descendants were interested in it, since it was at one time owed by their great grandmother, or  grandmother. I'll refurbished it and keep it with the other ones I have. Thanks for letting me post Cheryl. Have a great day and RAVE ON!!!
