Hi Denny,
I have an obituary for a Deike and where he was from in Germany if you would
like that? Died about 1930. Hand dated. I could scan it for you.
I have some Kahle in my family tree and I am interested in both names.
A quick check on Ancestry doesn't show many families here in America
1860-1880. 1900 shows 165 people. Would be glad to help from here to see
if you can get any clues or a connection.
There are quite a few here as he ( the obit mentioned earlier) left four
sons, and it also states he had two brothers. There are also some Deike
German obits I could get, died 1903 and 1919. Probably parents or Uncles.
Yours could have family that moved west. Most did have some relatives that
moved away.

I did a search on this webpage myself. I am guessing that they all are
related and Karen is very happy to help if she has the time. I have access
to the Deike German obits on this page if you are interested http://www

Karen also has a lot of Kahle information on her pages.
Let me know if you would like some help from this area.
