I am shocked to find that there are no other VOHL's who have been to this site looking for ancestors.
If someone DOES come across this I am looking for any Vohl's. I am currently researching them because of a Bible recently procured from my Grandmother that has a mysterious name in it.
Let me give a little background. My Great Grandmother's maiden name was Vohl. Her family came over from Germany. She had a Bible in her posession that she had kept a secret up until the close time of her death in 1980s. She never spoke of this Bible because, and said she didn't want anyone else to know about it. Why? We don't know.
We do know that this Bible contains the un-abbrviated version of the Vohl's name in Germany. The name appears to be Gerathervohl. It is VERY hard to read. There is also a date of March 29, 1899 and a town or Arago Nebraska (which I've found is now Argo NE.)
If anyone recognizes anything about the Vohl's or such a surname, PLEASE let me know.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
