We will have opportunities to introduce each family and share information. Please bring your family tree and photos from the past if possible. We are seeking any information about the Muehlheim families in Switzerland (our descendants lived in Somerdale, Ohio in the 1890’s) You may have questions of your own that we could help answer.

If you know you are unable to attend, we would be very grateful if you would forward your family tree information or any photos to us. We want to try to make a connection with other branches in our family tree.

The three Muehlheim Families that we want to connect are: Ernest Muehlheim married Anna Schwab, Gottfried Muehlheim married Bertha Henze, and John Muehlheim married Mary Whitmer. these 3 family branches are connected somehow, and probably in Schereun, Switzerland.
