Hi Bill. Both my grandfather and my great grandfather are Wilhelm Ihle, both from Maryland
I don't know much about my father's family, as my mother moved us away from my father and his family in 1965, by
moving us here to Miami, Fl (It's like Africa hot down here) Anyway, I do have several pages from a book written
by a local historian about J. Charles Ihle, whose parents emmigrated from Germany around the mid-1800's. He apparently
was quite a character and made a mark. If you would like a scan of the few pages, I'd be happy to provide them to you.
Even though this is a large family, I almost never come across someone with my old last name. Incidentally, my brother
is a Bill Ihle too. He lives in Okeechobee, Florida. My e-mail address is:
masterspowell@yahoo.com. I would love to hear from you.
Sincerely, Janet Ihle Powell
