Hi, What a beautiful site you have here. I've found most of my family on the
Cambria County site and now I think i've found the missing Himmel's I was looking
for on your site. I was searching for Michael Himmel, son of Bruno and Ann Mary
Himmel, your site I believe supplied me with most of the information, now all
that remains is when the parents and children died. Keep up the fine work and
thank you.
