Prussia to Illinois

This sounds like our family line: we have been told the progenitor fled Prussia during the Revolution of '48 and that there is a family castle in Wiesbaden which is still in Mehl family hands (but is not called Mehl).My father-in-law was born in Alton, Ill, where all the family remains and where there is supposed to be a geneology in the library (if not ruined by the floods a few years back).My husband was there many, many years ago for his grandmother's funeral, which was conducted by the Mehl Funeral Parlor. This is all the information I have, hope it helps.
