Subject: Re: my trees
Jon & John,
I use FTM, but am equally frustrated with their programs because I am trying to upgrade from 2005 to 2014, and it will not sync the sources with the person. Currently, I have more than 88,800 people in my family tree (probably half Wetzels) and will spend the rest of my life manually connecting the sources, which all appear when transferred. So, I am currently using the program with my old computer, whose screen no longer works. I have it hooked up to a monitor, and have to have both computers together on the desk to do research and enter data. Ridiculous, but it works. If you have heard of any fixes for this, let me know.
It's cool to hear about your Vance connection. It wouldn't surprise me if you were related to his family too. As for my Wetzel line, I will put it out here in skeleton format, since the tree would be about 100 pages. Here goes:
Johan Jacob WETZEL (brother of Hans Martin) b. abt 1711 m. Anna Maria BASSLER?
Johannes WETZEL b. 30 Oct 1746 m. Catharina DRUCKENMILLER
Peter WETZEL, Sr. b 23 May 1776 m. Elizabeth GRUBER
Peter WETZEL, Jr. b 4 Dec 1805 m. Maria Magdalena SCHNEIDER
Elias S. WETZEL b 22 Feb 1848 m. Lydia H. HEPLER
Elias H. WETZEL b. 4 Nov 1884 m. Louisa ROMBERGER
Naomi Edna WETZEL4 Jan 1911 (sister of Paul Romberger WETZEL of DNA)
m. Emerson TRUMP 15 Jun 1904 David TRUMP (living) m. Joan E. BEHLER
Michele TRUMP m. James F. Miller, III
Now to completely blow your mind, the other WETZEL connection I have because I am a TRUMP, which wouldn't show up in Uncle Paul's DNA. This is the family of Peter who we think is father of George.
Jacob WETZEL m. Anna Barbara ?
Anna Maria WETZEL (sister of Peter b. 1732) b abt 1730 m Johan Adam TRUMP b. 1722
Christian TRUMP b abt 1769 m. Catharina ? b abt 1774
John TRUMP, Sr. b 13 Aug 1792 m. Mary? b 1 May 1797
John TRUMP, Jr. m. Sarah MACHMER b 25 Oct 1812
Jonathan TRUMP b. 16 Feb 1843 m. Catharine LOOSE b 20 Feb 1852
James Alpheus TRUMP b 12 Sep 1877 m.Agnes Amanda LOOSE (2nd cousins
Emerson Loose TRUMP b 15 Jun 1904 m. Naomi Edna WETZEL
David TRUMP m. Joan E. BEHLER
Michele TRUMP (me again)
Every single one of these people was born and died in PA save the immigrants and those still living. The people in the first tree started in Northampton, Lehigh, then Schuylkill. The people in the second tree made their way to Berks from Lehigh.
The usgenweb.org was working on a migration project, but I don't see any information on their website. Basically, back then, there were Indian pathways that showed the most convenient ways to traverse the countryside, woods and mountains, and white pioneers followed them. The Moravians of Bethlehem followed the paths all the way to North Carolina, and had a settlement in Graceham, Frederick Co., MD which has all sorts of Pennsylvania names in the cemetery. They conducted marriages between one member from Bethlehem and one from Graceham, and kept in contact with each other.
Let me know if you have questions. I have no information about Rebecca BARKER other than her name. I inserted an approximate death date based on remarriage information. I will see if I can find anything else.
Michele

Refine your results with paper trail input
If traditional genealogical records indicate that a common ancestor between you and your match could not have lived in a certain number of past generations, your TiP results can be refined. Note, if you are not sure of this information, you should not change the value of "1" below.
Paul R. Wetzel and John Christy Wetzel Ph.D. did not share a common ancestor in the last generation(s).
Markers Display
Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though John Christy Wetzel Ph.D. has a Genetic Distance‡ of 5 from Paul R. Wetzel, someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 5 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.
