A Frederick Gangnagel appears in the 1869 Buffalo Directory. Could this Fredrick be the son of Mathias and Katherine Gangnagel known as Friedrick Gangnagel? <CSJ>
UPDATE: The answer is "yes".
Question 2. email me: 
This photograph was sent to me by a cousin. There was no identification of the people on the back of the photograph. The lady seated on the left bears a very strong resemblance to Arlene Lauser Rowe. That leads me to place this family in the Lausser history. Can you help us out? <BP/CSJ>
