I realize this post was some 15 years ago, but I just found the message board. My family consisted of Jacob Treutle who, along with his wife Katherine (Schmid) and children Katherine, John Jacob, Carl, Sophia and Henry, immigrated from Kurnbach to the United States (arriving in April of 1854.) They settled in upstate New York, and the surname became "Trietley." If anyone has any interest in this family or if you think we might be related at some point, please contact me! Thank you!
