Hello world. My 2nd great grandfather is Wilhelm Gaebel. I have found little information online about him. I have his death certificate from Lima, Ohio, USA which states he came from "Germany," which really didn't exist in that time; it would have been Prussia. Other's searches I've seen online placed his birth in Conradswalden, Silesia (now Poland). I have seen one record of a person fitting the name coming to America by way of New Orleans but it is vague enough that it could apply to a number of Wilhelm Gaebels.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate any help you could offer. It seems like my family's lineage starts at his marriage to Whilhelmine Loescher.
I can take photos of local cemeteries in Cincinnati, Ohio as an exchange for useful information.
Cheers, and thanks,
Andrew
