This family is in Wyandotte County by 1900. The 1900 Census indicates that John considers himself born in Germany, later there is an indication that he was from the Alsace region of France. This is because this region of Alsace changed hands between the Germans and French several times between the 1700's and 1900's/ It was a hotly contested area. Gabel is a typically French name.
