I am trying to track my Boehle roots, but I am having little luck. I am a grandson of Herbert Boehle, who is the son of Otto, who is the son of Jacob. I believe Otto migrated to the USA (Illinois) from Germany around the late 19th century. The rest of the family followed later.

No one knows what happened to Jacob Boehle. He disappeared shortly after he arrived in this country. Everyone just assumed that he went back to Germany because he didn't like it here. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
