Introduction
My sister and I published the book "Descendants of Johann Adam Dietel of 19th Century Somerset County, Pennsylvania" in 1996, after several years of research. A modest number of copies were sold to the various family members we had connected with. The book was prepared on a Macintosh computer. This year I attempted to convert the computer files to PC files so they could be converted to PDF and placed on the internet. I was successful with the MS Word files, but not with the all of the PICT files. The files that are included below are the ones that could be recovered and converted.
