Hi Deborah,
I think we may be from the same family. My grandfather's mother was Maragret
Thoma. Her father's name was George and they came to
America around 1850. I haven't gotten to this family yet. I have some from a cousin. It looks like your line goes like this; George & Margaret
Thoma had 8 children; Margaret,
Jake, Joe,
Xavier, Elizabeth, George, Anthony, and Martin. I am from the first daughter Margaret and you are from the first son
Jake. He married a Susan
Epple and they had the following children; Elizabeth, George (married Caroline Mitchell),
Lew, John, Will,
Jake, Albert, and Joe. She doesn't seem to have any thing more on this family. If you think this is your line let me know and I will send you what I have.
