Hello
I am a descendent of Bartholomew Riehle, who relocated to
Farming MN in the late 1800s.
I noticed on the mainpage a link to "how to
pronounce Riehle", and was surprised that there is
no mention of the "riley" pronunciation. Every
Riehle I have met since birth pronounced their name this
way.
I am aware of the original Deutche pronunciation (ree'
la), and also had heard that there were many derivatives
of the surname, which can make genealogy a challenge.
I thought you might be interested in knowing that there
is a large number of Riehles that get free green beer on
St. Pattie's Day...(c:
