Heidi,
We are on to something but with a few crooks.
My grandfather,Frank Keil, son of Phillip.Frank's death certificate states Phillip was born in Germany. He was married to Ellen Hemley, but again this death certificate states she was born in Pandora, Oh..same county.I have only started on this side of the family.Wonder how we can figure out which is correct.I did find another Philip Keil born 7/26/1842 in Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany. Info from "History of Allen Co by Warner, Beers, 1885"
I live in Ohio and most counties have histories done by this firm about the same time.I figured this other Philip was probably an uncle of my grandfathers.
Allen Co.'s records are not as organized as we searchers would like them to be. Hope to hear from you soon as he would be my great-great grandfather too.By George,C.D.,Mary, Ida, or Carrie for you???
