    Hi Kathleen - Any of your Bartels from Central PA or Bruinswick Germany? My mom's maiden name was Bartels. Her grand father was Charles Calvin and he and 2 brothers and a sister came to PA from Germany about the time of the Civil War. The brothers were Henry and Frederick and the sister Augusta. Any names ring a bell?

    Hi Kathleen - I don't know of any Bartels family members outside of Central Pennsylvania. They seemed to stay put. My grgrandfather, Charles b. 1851 in Brunswick Germany (Braunschweig) moved a lot in his occupation as a Church of God minister but never left the area. He married Sophia Jane Wohlford. She may have some distant relatives in Iowa. I know she did in Stephenson Co IL. Charles' sister Augusta married a Henry Kleffman and lived in York PA. This was an arranged marriage and he was a bit older than her. I don't know who their brothers married. Thanks for writing back and good luck with your research!!
