My family were Steeles' Good Luck hunting. Milly

There seem to be a couple major, unrelated branches. There are the descendents of Johannas Stahl (George Steel/ Steele) from Lambsheim, and the British Isles. I'd suggest splitting the group, but as far as Steel / Steele goes, it appears (to me) Johannas spelled it Steel, and so did Abraham, and Solomon added the final "e". Cheers.

I think the Steele/Steel name is like my Childers name. All in the same family I have Childers, Childres, Childress. In my Steele line I have Steele, Steel, Stilh. While searching records in Iowa I have seen the same person have their name spelled Steele and Steel. I guess a lot of it had to do with the person writing down the information.
