I saw your message regarding Gottleib Yehling in Illinois. I am a descendent of Judith Yehling, daughter of Thomas Oscar Yehling born February 3, 1903, son of Frederick H. Yehling born about 1864; son of Karl Yehling born about 1836. I have little information about the Yehlings. I posted a message to the Perry County web site and received a reply from another Yehling, the grandchild of Charles Yehling, a son of Karl Yehling. If you visit the Illinois marriage web site, you'll see a handful of Yehlings (both male and female) married prior to 1900 in Perry County, Illinois. I have different information on Gottlieb - I have that he married Alvira Roethe in 1901 and he was born about 1876. Maybe this is your Gottlieb A. Yehling? Please let me know if it is! I have not yet checked into this line of my family just yet, but I plan to - one of these days. If you'd like more information please send me an e-mail at
lclark@gcd.com and I'll print off what I currently have (and what I do have is only heresay) and send it to you. Good luck.
