Comments on: About me http://swetzel.wordpress.com The life and adventures of Shirley Wetzel Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:21:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: swetzel http://swetzel.wordpress.com/about/#comment-319 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:19:35 +0000 #comment-319 Oh no, now you’ll find out all my secrets :-) I’m glad you found me. It has helped me through some of these rough times to write about it, and share it with friends, family & strangers who might want to be friends, or are touched by something I’ve written. Dad would have been 90 next Monday … each “first” is hard, as you know. On my birthday last week, for the first time in 64 years there was no one to call me his baby girl. Don’t try not to cry, it hasn’t even been a year since those two old friends went up to Heaven, and it will take a long time for the pain to get easier to bear.

I didn’t know you have a blog! I’ve enjoyed reading it, and tried desperately to keep my eyes from leaking over Sweet Uncle Sterling and Papa. Hope you’re doing well!

Love ya,
Rauni

I’m still close to some of his family – and we had two sons together, so they are Wetzels, as are my grandchildren, so the Wetzel genealogy is important to me too. I hope you were able to get in touch with Margaret and find what you needed.

Thank you very much (especially considering the family tie is an “ex”). Like the blog.
Warmest regards,
Ed

Wetzel is my ex-husband’s family, and they aren’t much on genealogy. I did some research, and yes, my ex is descended from Warren Wetzel – George W. Wetzel – Charles Ethan Sr. -Charles Ethan Jr. The lady you need to get in touch with is the amazing Margaret Waring, librarian at the Comanche County library, and also a descendant of Warren Wetzel. Ask her nicely, and she’ll give you all the help there is to give. Tell her Shirley says hey.

Good luck!

Enjoyed scanning your blog. I’m really into genealogy and know that I am indirectly related to the WETZEL’s and LOW’s of Comanche County. My GGGM was Julia WETZEL LOW daughter of Jacob and Melvina MURRY WETZEL. I believe the Comanche County WETZEL’S are descended from Warren WETZEL of Georgia. Any chance you could make some introductions to the existing WETZEL family to pursue my genealogy passion?

I don’t remember much of childhood before about age 10, after we returned from Alaska. It was interesting reading your history. I was at Baylor also in the 60′s, lived in Wisc, Mich, Boston in the 70′s and was in Houston 9 years in the 80′s. We may have run across each other without knowing it. After 18 years in NY from the 90′s to the 00′s, we retired in 2004 to West Texas and will be moving to Austin in the next year or so. We hope to visit Taylor’s Chapel and areas around Comanche soon.

Thanks again for the world of information.

Ron

What a wonderful blog you have! I found you by accident while researching my family tree. I think we may have met before but I am not sure. I am the son of Charles Stewart and Marilyn Wilson. My sister is Wendy. I see you know my dad by reading your blog about memorial day.

My dad and I do not speak and have not seen each other face to face since 1985. I ran away from home in 1983 and he has basically disowned me.

As I said, I am researching my family and I am so glad to have found your blog. If you are planning to come to Okema this year I would like to meet you. I am also considering coming to the Robertson family reunion too.

Hope to hear from you!

Scott
