Brian,
I don't have Diane in my database either. But I have her grandparents. And they both are related to you:

Diane's Grandfather and ancestors:
John Gregory Halfmann, * 1869, married Margaret Meyer, * 1887
Chrysanthus Halfman, * ??, oo Eva Sonntag * ??
Gerhard Halfmann, * 1802, oo Anna Catharina Koenigs, *1807
Mathias Halfmann, * 1762, oo Maria C. Stephani, * 1761

Diane's Grandmother and ancestors:
Margaret Meyer, * 1887, oo John Gregory Halfmann, * 1869
John August Meyer, * 1862, oo Anna Thome, * 1862
Johann Josef Mayer, *1827, oo Christine Willems, *1826
Michael Mayer, * 1796, oo Anna Maria Halfmann, *1805 ( = parents of Johann Adam Mayer!!! )
Mathias Halfmann, * 1762, oo Maria C. Stephani, * 1761 (same as above!)

That's what she sent me in the very beginning of our correspondence after I had found some of her Meyer data in Rootsweb.com and wrote the first email to her.

There is some doubt on the parents of Anna Maria Halfmann, as my colleagues here in Germany have them as Mathias Halfmann and Klara Brust. I asked them for explanation, but so far they did not give more data to that. So I follow Diane's data, as they are more precise and have been proved to be very accurate in all cases I have checked so far!

Johann married Christine Willems in 1849. (Christine Willems was born on Oct 7, 1826.)
