Francis Diehl (Diel, Dahl, Delanski, Drill, Dieo, Daniel)
January 1863 ---- 2 April 1945

An explanation for people that have not done genealogy work:
It is presumed that when Francis (Frank) came from Poland he could not speak English, therefore,
his last name is different in just about every record we have found. At the bottom of this page we have listed Batismal Records of his 3 oldest children, look at the last names.
We are in the process of obtaining his Death Certificate
and working on getting his Nationalization papers. This has been very difficult, to say the least!!!
Thanks to all of our detective work, we have found our mother's Grandparents resting places. Thank you to everyone that helped.
