I don't think the SD family you mention is of this lineage. I posted the Ahlborn/Thiele history a number of years go, but the Mary Ahlborn link is as far back as I knew at that time... I did however, have a complete tree up until about 2003 or so. Since that time, Michael Thiele has been working on it, as well as Oscar F. Sandstrom, both cousins of mine. There were a couple of August(us) Thiele individuals and the one you show above IS my great-grandfather, married to Mary Ahlborn born 25 Feb. 1845 in Berlin, Brandenburg, Germany, died 12 July 1923 in Owatonna, MN, and buried in Degner Cemetery, Pratt, MN. Their first child was also August(us) John (called Gus) Thiele, born 8 Feb. 1866 in LaCrosse, Wi, married to Libbie Sholes. If you search Ahlborn/Thiele, you will find this file on Rootsweb.com.

Wow! I won't have time to read the Thiele tree until later today, but boy am I excited! If I have some additional info, I'll send it to you so that you can update the Thiele tree.

WWho are your Thiele-family grandparents and parents?? You loive in Denver?
You can email me at twinsgrammy@charter.net with questions/comments. I've worked on this lineage for 10+ years..and I can put you in touch with Mike and Oscar, who are working on it now, if you like.

I reviewed the Ahlborn/Thiele tree in Rootsweb. I've never used Rootsweb before, but it seems to me that it doesn't contain my immediate family. I know that once they immigrated they lived in the NYC area, primarily in Newark, and according to family lore, Staaten Island. Again, lore, says that they had a bar/restaurant there. Mom said that the wonderful linen dish towels I used up not too long ago were leftovers from the bar. Nana said that Rudolph had a brother Richard with whom she lived when her parents died. Richard probably lived on Staaten Island. Richard was a tailor. I have a photo of him and his wife in front of the shop where he worked.

My Rudolph is my great grandfather. Rudolph Thiele's daughter, Flora was my maternal grandmother.

Arletta:

I am in contact with a Mike Thiele - he's a cousin of mine - he lives in MN. Is that the Mike you mean? Or were you talking the other person in this thread?

If you've been working on this line, do you have info on Augustus?

Nothing further back than him that is not already posted on rootsweb.com under the file name of Ahlborn/Thiele. Mike Thiele in International Falls, MN, is my second cousin. My Mother and his father were cousins... my Mother was the daughter of William and Jennie (Larkin) Thiele. William is a brother of his grandfather...maybe we are third cousins! But we're cousins!
