I would like to hear from anyone who has additions or corrections to this family. I descend from Catherine Odenwelder, daughter of Johan Philip and Anna Maria Rent who married John Schmidt. Their daughter, Elizabeth married John Miller and they are the line I descend from. These other Odenwelders are just some records that I have collected in my Miller line research. Please contact me, Ginny Deagan (NEW E-MAIL:[email protected]) . For information on my other web pages online see my Web Page Index.
