A quick "people finder" search will quickly unveil many "Cagle's" in the United States with all variations of the surname still in use. ie. Kegel, Kagle, Kegle and so forth. These guys may be descendants from later immigrants but it's odd that we never see any inquiries into our Cagle website or on the genwebsite. I was told years ago that Kegel was a name that derived from Keglar, a german form of bowling from the German Black Forest. Does anyone have any info to substantiate my hearsay.? > -----Original Message----- > From: THE CAGLE FAMILY [SMTP:cagle@toolcity.net] > Sent: Monday, February 15, 1999 4:08 PM > To: CAGLE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Kagles 1864 > > Lee wrote: > I'm sure everyone is interested.
