Schlager Nelson Yecht Echt Family from Lokacze, Russia, Poland, USSR, Ukraine
Deep gratitude to Joseph Chandler of Portland, Maine who made an amazing family tree that got me started
I first created this page when I could see no futher back than my great-grandmother Toby Nelson. But that was her married name. She was Toby Yecht.
