Miscellaneous: In 2023, a descendent of Gabriel Steely (Jeff Steely) helped settle a mystery about Ulrich, Gabriel's father, and Caspar's son. Jeff sent an e-mail to the webmaster that stated he had taken a yDNA test that matched with Bruce W. Stahly, co-administrator for the Stahly Group and author of From Sigriswil to Nappanee: 300 years of Stahli History.(Source of all dark gray font is credited to Jeff Steely)

In his e-mail, Jeff stated, "He (Bruce) listed his earliest known ancestor as a Caspar Stahli, born in Switzerland in 1685. In short, what I learned is that Caspar, a swine herder, was born in Sigriswil, Bern, Switzerland in 1685. He moved to the Palatinate in 1713. He and his wife, Magdelena Schedeberger, had 7 children. Bruce is descended from Johannes Jörg. Jörg has a brother named Johannes Ulrich (#185), born in 1726. Caspar's children were baptized in the Reformed church. Ulrich's entry specifically states that his mother as an Anabaptist. Caspar died in 1732."
