I was quite surprised to discover that there are Norwegians with the last name of Dihle. My ancestry is German, and I met my German relatives when I waas statiioned in Germany with the US Army in 1966. I was shown family records that were compiled when Hitler was in power and it was necessary to prove your teutonic heritage. The name "Dihle" seems to have arisen in Germany in 1732 as a mispelling by a census taker of the name "Thiele". thereafter, all German Dihles shared a common ancestor. I think that there are morre German Dihles in the USA than there are in Germany. I trace my heritage to Caar Gustav Dihle, who came to Detroit, Michigan in 1862, and who is buried in the cemetary associated with Trinity Lutheran Church in Detroit. It appears, from information found on the web that my original american forbearer had a sibling named Robert that preceded him in immigrating to America. My relatives in Germany wrote a letter to an Aunt in Detroit in the 1960's inquiring whether we were the descendents of Carl Gustav Dihle, who thier records indicated had immigrated to America. They did not mention an older sibling of Carl Gustavv's named Robert, but the enties I find on the web seem to indicate a relationship. It may be the case, therefore, that all German Dihles in the USA are related, and related to those remaining Dihles in Germany.

There are several families of Dihle's, all related, in North Dakota. Eric Dihle was our grandfather. Eric came to North Dakota from Norway as a young man in the early 1900s.

Hi Joanne, My last name was Dihle. In Germany is was spelled Dihle then in mid 1700 it was spelled Thiele. When my great & great great grandfathers died in Detroit 1891 for both, on the death certificate it was spelled Diehl. I have found that in the US, my family is Dihle. Since you have the same name, can you give me any info on your family? I start with Joseph & Anna, children Freidrich, Heinrich, Gustav, Robert, Johann Karl ( who went by Charles and Carl in US)
Johanna, & Augusta. My ggreat grandfather was Johann.
His children were Emile, Hulda, Ida, Gustave. My g grandfather was Emile and his children were John, Klara, William. Does any of this sound like your family? Please e-mail if it does. My line is from MI but Robert was in KS and Gustav in CO
