My name is Mark Fischer and I started this Hanel-Laube family tree website in order to share all of  the information that I've had in my possession for a dozen years or so.  Another descendant of this Hanel-Laube line is Margaret Schreyer from the Mankato, Minnesota area.   Many years ago another Hanel descendant gave me a 3" floppy disk that contained all of this information.   I was told that  Margaret Schreyer was the person who either researched, gathered together and/or collated this  information.   Hats off to you Margaret!   I have had very little to do with the gathering of this  information on the Hanel-Laube families of Southern Minnesota.  My paternal grandmother (Clara Hanel Hanel Fischer) is my link to this fascinating and large relation.   I have not yet upgraded this  site 
 from it's 'free' status. . . but someday I hope to do so.   I have another Tribal Pages website  with my immediate family (Fischer) as well as my mother's side of the family (names such as  Valliant, Rhodes, Roberts, Hollinger, etc).   That site is 'The Adam Fischer Family'.   I am  working on that 'Fischer' site at this time (2016) as I did most of the original work on it years  ago and the information was on a very old Family Tree Maker software on my computer.  Last year I  discovered that I could no longer access those files as Family Tree Maker had put out many newer  versions of their software over the past dozen years and it apparently could no longer open my  older version.   Be that as it may, I had previously printed or saved files on almost all of that  information so I will be able to add that info to the website. . . one piece at a time!  No quick  upload for me.   I hope you find something of interest in these files.   Mark A. Fischer (2016-01)
