Grall Family

Carol (Grall) Jindra is descended from a group of farm families that extended from west of Whitelaw to Branch, Reifs Mills and towards Kellnersville, all settling there from the 1850s through the 1870s. The families include the Grall and Wellner families on her father's paternal side, and the Brunig and Benishek families on her mother's side. A further generation back, the families include Lemberger, Augustine, Nate, and Halama.

They were a mix of German and Czech, and some were German ethnics living in the Bohemian borderlands {"Bomisch"). More information on these families, coming soon.
