Notes and Research

Added 21 Nov 2017 by Francis E. Berkey (Berkey-120) For some reason all the details from DJH are present but Jacob's wife was never entered. Also it should be noted that their daughter, Elizabeth (whose husband was my route here), was entered as last name Hostetler. I added additional last name Hochstetler as a matter of clean up. FEB It seems the profile resembles Swiss Cheese as on this page the wife is here. I'll see what I can accomplish. FEB
