Hallo, OBERMEYER, SCHNEIPEL

Hello Kendal Obermeyer,

I was just wondering what excellent type of translator you could have used, when your last sentence came into sight. So, no problem with your german at all, quite excellent.

We have no SNEIPEL today still yet, but SCHNEIPEL. And how lucky you are, all I found lived in one place in 1998:

- SCHNEIPEL, Franz, Eichenweg 92, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 1628
- SCHNEIPEL, Georg, Schillerstr. 50, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 5454
- SCHNEIPEL, Heinrich, Nordstr. 4, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 10395
- SCHNEIPEL, Jakob, Schillerstr. 41, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. o5247 6500
- SCHNEIPEL, Katharina, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 10361

OBERMEYER is a more spread name in the southern parts of Germany, but especially in that place Harsewinel you also find OBERMEYER, which indicates this might be your place.

- OBERMEYER, Bernhard, Rinklakestr.7, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 4198
- OBERMEYER, Franz, Schwarzer Weg 22, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 02588 387 (Perhaps wrong nr.)
- OBERMEYER, Heinrich, Rinklakestr.7, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 4938
- OBERMEYER, Heinrich, Sürenbrede 10, 33428 Harsewinkel, Tel. 05247 2629

Please check the actual adresses and nbrs. under www.telefonbuch.de.

I think there are good chances that Harsewinkel is the place of origin of your anchestors.

Good luck

Dear Kendal,

To my eyes...

Schneipel in a hand-written record might perhaps look like Schneibel?

To my ears...

Schneipel might even sound like Schneibel.

As I write this note I begin to feel very silly..

But for minute chance I will continue.

The name Schniebel sounds familiar to me. Familiar why? Here comes the silly.

Late 1970's....

A cousin had a crush on a Schniebel who played soccer for Aquinas High School. Aquinis today is called Trinity. It's located in Florissant, St. Louis, Missouri.

This family lived lived on same street as my cousin.

Here is another possibility and I am sure there are probably more a
written a could easily have looked like an e

Could Schneipel originally been Schnaibel or Schnabel. My GGGGGG
grandfather was a schnable which then became schnob and now it is Scott.
We do like to change the spelling of our name. Regards Jack

Dear Barbie-Lew,
It's a tiny world; I went to college with a girl from
Florissant.
I am certainly not ruling out any alternate spellings
because I have been told that my ancestors who came
from Germany were illiterate - ANYTHING could happen.
Heck, as someone pointed out, a little spelling shift
is nothing. People could get on a boat being called
Zimmermann and arrive and turn into Carpenters. It
looks like my family's names were not anglicized, at
any rate, although this stuff is absolutely like
finding a needle in a huge haystack. But I figure,
the German major should make it that much easier.
And if you happen to know anyone from Florissant named
Tammy Lees Torres (she was just Tammy Lees when I knew
her in the nineties), the world just got that much
smaller!
