Karl-Heinz Siehndel- Happy belated birthday from 1 siehndel to another. I am located in USA. I believe we are probably related. My ggg-grandfather was John Siehndel, married to Wilhelmia Tech. Died in Minnesota-USA in 1850s him and wife came here to US in 1850s I believe. Any information you might have on Siehndel's you can share. ?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I presently do not have any other information about Karl-Heinz Siehndel.
