Notes for PETER DILS:

Among Dilss/Dils/Dilts researchers there is a great deal of controversy over Peter's birth date as well as which "Anna" was his mother. Until evidence to the contrary comes to light (which, indeed, may never be), the ancestry of Peter Dilts/Diltz shown here is based on the findings of Bob Dils, 27515 Rd. U 6, Dolores, CO 81323; 970-882-4221; redils at frontier.net.
