Mike --
Thank you! I will check those sources, and particularly try the health dept.
I already know most of my grandfather's descendants, many of whom still live in
Evansville. Since my father (Kenneth on the list, who is still living) has gotten older,
we haven't been back there as much.
The hard part for me has been tracing back, and particularly the German part of things. I
do have the international Ancestry membership, and have some help from that. As you
noted, there have apparently been multiple spellings of the last name, including Schirle,
Shirle, Shirley, and at least one German version is Schürle.
John
