In addition to these immigrants, several other lines exist here in the U.S. that have not yet been connected to a known immigrant, and that are currently being researched. Several of the Appendices from The Dreisbach Book, which was published in 1998, have subsequently been connected to the main immigrants. Others have surfaced since then. If your line is among them, we invite you to check from time to time to see what we've learned about your ancestors.
