Hi, Ktistina...... what a prompt reply! Karl is a very common Thiel name, but I don't think your greatgrandfather Karl is the Karl in my family.
Herman Karl Thiel was born to Gottfried Thiel and Wilhemina Thiel (nee Daebel) in Stettin, Germany on March 13, 1883. He was the oldest of 9 children -- three of whom didn't survive past their 2nd birthday. My father was the youngest.
Herman and wife Juliana had 6 children, one of them named Karl, who had 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Kathryn, so I don't think my cousin Karl is your relative. We can pursue this a little further if you'd like.
As a side note, your original posting was answered several days later by `RETA'. Do you happen to have her E-dress.? She was looking for Herman Karl Thiel born in Germany in 1883. I think she might be among my distant family. Would appreciate that address if you have it.
My E-mail is [email protected], and you can pass that on to 1RETA' if you are in contact. Bye !Ben Thiel in Waukesha, WI.
