We've added 23 more Leaves
We've added 23 more Leaves

The Yoder Branch gives us 12 more Leaves on our Family Tree, and the Krater Branch provides us with 10 more Leaves. Adding the Leaves of these two Branches to the Leaves of our previous Branches now gives us a total of 238 Leaves we can account for. I know there are many more Leaves out there, so if you would help me rake them in we can add them to our pile. But please, no jumping in the leaf pile! It has taken quite awhile to rake this many together, and we don't want them scattered all over again. LOL, as we say on the net!

A little more information on Aunt Edie can be gotten here: Edith KRATER. And to add my own personsal little memory of Aunt Edie .......She used to take us for a ride in the Henry J car she had years ago. When we all piled in and the car started, the gas gauge read Empty, but as we rode around the mountains the gauge slowly crept up to Full! Why don't they make cars like that today?!!

Now, the following pages will explore the FAHL Branches of our tree. This part of the tree is what I know best, and have so much information on that I will have to do separate pages for each Branch. The Branches are intertwined, but I will attempt to sort out each one: FAHL, DIETRICH, BENSINGER, HOPPES, and BAST. These all being Dad's side of the Tree, whereas the previous Branches were from Mom's side.............
