Hans Georg IHLE
Ursula __?__

WARNING: for the moment, I'm following the secondary sources at WorldConnect and Ancestry's Public Member Trees. These files contain obvious errors, especially with regard to the spelling of place names and a misunderstanding of the difference between IHLE and IHLIN. It's my intention to seek out the microfilms and add verbatim extractions to these pages.

Husband: Hans Georg IHLE
Birth: 8 Oct 1651, Eichhof, Neuenstein, Duchy of Württemberg

In today's terminology: Eichhof, Neuenstein, Hohenlohekreis, BW

Marriage:

Wife: Ursula __?__
Birth: ca. 1655

In German, surnames are inflected, and the feminized spelling of IHLE is IHLIN, so Georg would have been called, "Herr IHLE," while Ursula would have been called, "Frau IHLIN." Many online files treat these names as equivalent, applying the name to Georg as an alternate spelling, while others treat it as Ursula's maiden name. It is neither. Ursula's maiden name is unknown, and IHLIN is simply the grammatically feminine form of her husband's surname.

Keywords for search engines: genealogy; Holy Roman Empire; FRG, Germany, DEU, Deutschland, Baden-Württemberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Hohenlohe District

Geographical Note:

The place names we use, today, would not have applied to the locations where our IHLE ancestors lived. For a simplified chronology for Württemberg, please see this page. What is evident from this chronology is that, for those of us descended from the IHLE's who emigrated to the U.S. in the mid-1700s, our ancestors lived in the Duchy of Württemberg, which was then part of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation." This is now the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG).

Our subject was born in Neuenstein, Germany, but there are two Neuenstein's in Germany that genealogists are mixing up in regard to our subject. Giving their locations in today's terms: One is about 6 miles North of Prüm, in Bitburg-Prüm [Dist.], Rheinland-Pfalz [Rhineland-Palatinate]; the other is about 4 miles East of Öhringen, Hohenlohekreis [Hohenlohe Dist.], Baden-Württemberg. Our subject was born in the latter.

Some are placing family members in "Eichof Neuenstein, Jagstkrels Wuerttemberg" or some other collection of misspelled place names. The corrected location is:

Eichhof, Neuenstein, Öhringen, Jagstkreis, Württemberg

Eichhof is a hamlet in the town of Neuenstein in the Oberamt of Öhringen in the district of Jagstkreis, one of the four divisions of Württemberg. However, this location would only have been valid from 1817/18 to 1938, well after our ancestors had emigrated.

Whether you choose to use the contemporary location or the current location in your genealogy database is cerrtainly your prerogative. IMO, the best option is to supply both. These are:

Contemporary: Eichhof, Neuenstein, Duchy of Württemberg, Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation

Current: Eichhof, Neuenstein, Hohenlohekreis, Baden-Württemberg, Federal Republic of Germany
