Thielke Name Study looking for more!

Question

We recently got the Thielke Name Study off the ground and are looking for more Thielke lines to add to the list. Currently, it only includes Thielke lines from the Wisconsin area. The main goal would be to try to at least connect some of these lines back to Prussia/Germany where the Thielke name seems to originate.

The purpose of this study is to bring together any Thielke descendants who are willing to work together to establish an accurate Thielke Family tree by using the best possible sources available for documentation to make new connections. There are other spelling variations (i.e., Tielke, Thilke.)

Also, DNA is becoming a very important piece to our genealogy research toolbox. As they say, DNA doesn't lie. Currently, we're only aware of a few Thielke descendants who have been tested. We'd love to see more Thielke DNA results (Autosomal or YDNA.)

Congratulations on getting your name study started! I wish you much success and luck in you endeavor. I do not have that name in my ancestry as far as I know.

I have heard that there were Thielke lines that originated in The Netherlands, also. Interesting.

they don't originate from the Netherlands, but moved to the Netherlands from Germany

Hannover was the capitol of Prussia
