Re: Peter Dorscheid b. 1814

Hello, again:
For the sake of this discussion, I am calling Peter Dorscheid (son of Peter and Regina Backe, husband of Anna Klein)as "Peter, Jr." I am calling Peter, Jr.'s father (b. 15 Dec 1814, Kastel, d. 1891, Erie County) as "Peter, Sr."
The possibility that Peter, Sr.'s father might be named Mathias Dorscheid (son of Michael and Anna Marie Lauck, husband of Maria Gart) first surfaced when I joined the Western NY Genealogical Society.I received some materials from a very nice person which included work from the late Josephine Almeter who had covered the the catholic churches in the area and deciphered a lot of Dorscheid information.She listed Peter, Sr.'s father as Mathias and listed a brother, John, and a sister, Barbara. She also included the date and place of Peter, Sr.'s marriage to Regina Backe.
I happened to connect with a very nice, efficient genealogist in the area who, for a very reasonable price, searched for the marriage information on Peter, Sr. and Regina.His name, by the way, is Glenn RP Atwell and I recommend him highly.He found it. He emailed a transcription (I didn't request originals).The marriage documents listed Peter, Sr.'s father as Mathias.
Based upon two votes for Mathias, so far, I have to go with Mathias.I'd be more sure if I actually saw the documents myself, but that is not always possible.
I would be glad to hear any thoughts you have on the matter.
Mike
