In 1976, William Edward (Bill) Reinsel published The Reinsels of Pennsylvania.  Bill reported only on the male descendants of John H. Reinsel (1797-1856) and Margaret Arents Reinsel (1809-1878).
In 2019 I was able to make a direct link from Henry Reinsel, born 1760, in Germany, to Conrad Jacob Reintzel born in Neiderhochstad, In the Rhineland about in 1725. He immigrated to the colony of Pennsylvania in 1760 along with his family. He settled in Pinegrove Twp which was then in Berks County.

In 2021 I was able to add a direct link from my grandfather Michael McGranahan to Anthony McGrenaghan born in Gortnatraw North, Donegal Ireland in 1780 and also to Thomas McGarrity born in County Tyrone Ireland.
I have reached some limits where records do not exist, but the tree will never truly be finished as long as offspring have offspring.

 I have substantially expanded on the tree to include those named Reintzel, Ransel, Rensel, and Ransil. 
The tree now includes my wife's ancestors, the Bauers and Ditzes. and my mother's ancestors the McGranahans and McGarritys . I have added the ancestors of Louis Young, my son-in law and Deborah Cress my daughter-in law to this file. 
The link through the McGarrities to Robert the II of Scotland is questionable and is more of a Joke than a fact. It came from Ancestry and is someone's wishful thinking. 


I will be retiring from Genealogy this year. If you would like a copy of my Ged com file of Flash Drive   that contains the data as it is but cannot be updated I' be glad to see that you get it.
