I am doing research on the Dahl and Portz
families and still need more information. I am also looking for
scanned photos, birth certificates, death certificates,
newspaper obituaries, Memorial Folders and cemetery photos.
Some of my information is based only on the personal
recollections of family members and may not be entirely
accurate. If you think you know someone who is listed here, but
find that my listing doesn't match what you know about that
person, then the error might well be mine.
Please let me know so
that I can correct it!
