This is quite interesting. As far as I can tell my "Yowell" line comes from Christopher UHL of Germany. I have never heard anything of a French connection at all. My father said Norwegian and Scottish when I was growing up. But when I started researching the family line I found that it is actually more German and English before coming to America. Don't know anything of any French connection at all.
