Thanks!! I guess I hadn’t gone far enough….I did find the dna match. I’ve
checked my trees and so far don’t have the actual connection. My grandparents
on my Mom’s side were Fred Aman & Lydia Hoff, Great Grandparents were
Margaretha Guthmiller & Fred Hoff, GGGparents were Heinrich Hoff & Regina
Stoebner and Johann Guthmiller and Karolina Hoffer – not sure if this will
help. What are your names?
I’m so glad to have a contact – some aren’t willing to help. Let’s keep it up!

I’m attaching a copy of my screen with your account and a match to my mother
Gerda Vogl. This screen has a match between jbotcher, isn’t that you? And
Porter Schmidt. Sorry if I’m confusing names. Lil Vogl

Hi Lil,
Nice to hear from you! I do not know of a Porter Schmidt, but I have many
Schmidt’s in my family – is he an ancestor or living now? I also see we have
the names Schneider, Huber and Lang in common. I see many Schneider and
Huber’s, but only one Lang. Love to hear from you.

Lilien,
Why do you bring up Porter? He is on my list too, but has
yet to respond to any of my emails.

Hello Penny,
I finally get to met you. You’ve seen my DNA and my mother’s Gerda Schumm Vogl
both on ancestry and myheritage. I think we are related in Germany right?
Your family went to Russia and mine went to Hungary. Do you know who Porter
Schmidt is?

Hi Tom,
Yes – Heidi is my sister! You will also match up with Scott Lemley, my
brother. Fred Aman and Lydia Hoff are my mother’s parents. Heidi & I are
going to work on Ancestry tomorrow – I know we can find the connection
somewhere!!

Penny,
I've notice that your tree has a Fred Aman and Lydia Hoff
as your ancestors.
I found the same pair of ancestors in another of my DNA matches:
a Heidi Stathus. (managed by rstathubyhstathus)
Look up her tree. You too have a lot in common. And, you both
are a DNA match to me, so somewhere in there is a link to my mom.
Tom
