This is the family of Louis Julius Koehl, the brother of my husband’s great-grandfather Henry “Harry” Koehl and the son of Julius Koehl and Josephine Lochner, and Catherine “Katie” Reuss.

Louis worked as a butcher and later as a carpenter. By the 1920 census the family was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and on the 1930 census the family was shown living in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

I would love to share information with anyone related to/researching this family; you can contact me at my e-mail address, which can be found by going to my profile page (there is a link to that page in the About Me section to the left).

    Hi Greta, thank you for your recent visit to my blog. Although I've been blogging since 2006 (with a long hiatus in 2009/2010), I have only recently begun doing some genealogy blogging, so I'm enjoying connecting with those of you in the genealogy community.

    Your profile mentioned Find a Grave. That site is awesome!! Through it, I connected with a previously-unknown 3rd cousin, who provided me with a whole host of information I hadn't already known. (He had done up the pages for some of our common relatives.)

    I've long been a cemetery-walker, so after seeing the huge benefit of Find a Grave in my own life, I decided to get involved myself. I've done a few memorial pages (most of those interred in the cemeteries I've visited are already on there.) Also, I've listed myself as being willing to take photos, as I have been blessed by those in Pittsburgh being willing to take photos for me.

    Blessings to you,
    Patti

    Patti - Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment! I'm glad you are getting into genealogy blogging - it's a nice community of people. I love Findagrave, too, though lately I haven't been able to get out as much to take photos. Look forward to reading more of your blog.
