Comprehensive, definitive, and meticulously researched, The Descendants of Johann Adam Dietel of 19th Century Somerset County, Pennsylvania, charts the full Dietle/Deitle lineage from its deep Bavarian roots, beginning in 1809, up to the book's 1996 publication. Written by siblings Lannie L. Dietle and Dana (Dietle) Moore, this essential volume systematically explores the family's history and serves as a complex and vital record for all descendants.

This foundational resource is available to download in its original format. Corrections and additions can be viewed in Addendum A. Supplemental materials can be found at Lannie's website.
The digital edition is in producation and available to explore on the simplified version of this website.
Digitization efforts are laying the foundation for a fully updated interactive, living edition of the book.
