Rathel Surname
The surname of some of my ancestors appears as Rathel or Rathal. As I have done more investigation, it seems that these are simplifications of the actual surname by the ancestors, census takers, and others. From some census records, death certificates, and marriage records, the Rathel seems to more accurately be spelled as Reatheal, Reathel, Reathell.
