This family tree is dedicated as a tribute and a memorial to the lives, hopes, and 
dreams of the Hommel's, Hummel's, Lewis', and their spouses. Their contributions and 
many other families contributions helped build our country and our future. These are 
the people who make us who we are today.

Quoted from " A Genealogy of Selected Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Pioneer 
Families, from the Arrival of the Immigrant Ancestors to the Present Time" can only 
best describe our past handed down by our ancestors.

And there are some who have no memorial, 
Who have perished as though they had not lived.

But these were people of mercy,
Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten:

Their prosperity will remain with their descendants,
And their inheritance to their children's children

Their posterity will continue forever,
And their glory will not be blotted out.

Their bodies were buried in peace.
And their names live in all generations.

King James Bible - Ecclesiasticus: Chapter 44

The majority of the Hommel/Hummel Family Historical information came from the family 
historian Ruth Zanna Hommel's 1982 Manuscript, which can be viewed in the album 
section of this site, and also from "A Genealogy of Selected Northumberland County, 
Pennsylvania, Pioneer Families, from the Arrival of the Immigrant Ancestors to the 
Present Time; Part XI, The Johan Jacob Hummel Family", compiled by Joseph A Meiser, 
Jr., B.S., Ph.D., Sarah Roadarmel Meiser, and Dorothy Schuck Amerman. Published by 
the authors in 1983

The majority of the Lewis family information came from Mary Edna (Lewis) 
Wetherington. Informtion also was obtain from her brothers, sisters, and family 
members. Her and her son, Michael Hommel, are in the process of writing the 
biographies of those individuals who have long since passed.

The Hommel's, Hummel's, and Lewis' family's information is being complied together by 
three brothers; Michael, Gregory, and Jeffrey Hommel. 

I also like to give Saralee Murma, a fellow genealogist, credit in helping me obtain 
information for the Hommel / Hummel family.
