Re: SCHMUHL, Otto E; DEU>MI,USA; 1877 Hello Karen, have you considered the possibility of a change of name? Perhaps the original name has been SCHMÜHL and the dots above the "U" were just left off when your ancestor came to the USA. On the Teleauskunft there are about 55 Schmühl entrys in the region between Cologne, Aken, Euskirchen and Nideggen.
