Note: Some names, places, and dates shown are the best estimates of this researcher and are so indicated. Any name, place, or date with words such as about, maybe, probably, possibly, or near associated with it should be independently verified if exact data is required. The numbers immediately following the hyphen after the person's name are my computer database record numbers and are not dates, etc. Wetzel family researchers may wish to first contact Calvin Wetzel and/or Michele Miller for possible assistance since they are Wetzel descendants and are active Wetzel researchers.
