* For my whole life, I believed that Barbara and Emil had immigrated from Germany, but Aunt Cheryl provided further clarification on this when she visited my website!  She says, "I'm pretty sure that both Emil and Barbara were born in the U.S.  I think maybe even Great Grandpa Peter Joseph Dietzler (Emil's father) may even have been born here.  Because I know that he fought in the Civil War.  When I was a little girl, I remember Grandma Dietzler telling me about the sword, cap and even the trombone on the wall in her living room!  They belonged to Great Grandpa Dietzler and he had used them in the Civil War!  I believe that one of the cousins has those items.  At least I hope they still do.  I really should try to get in touch with Maris and ask if she knows."
