| Originally the family I am part from seems to have it's roots in Southwest
Germany, close to Basel. "Guhl" is another word for "cock" (and ONLY the
bird! See the coat of arms) in the accent
they speek (or at least spoke) there. But some centuries ago they moved to
the small town Steckborn at the lake of constance. In the "reformation" (the
time when the protestants left the catholic church) Steckborn became protestant
and a part of the family Guhl moved to Homburg, a small village some kilometers
up the hill. The part remaining in Steckborn and therefore becoming protestant
is the part I (more or less) directly come from.
In 1995 I collected some information about my family using a genealogy-software. It produced a rather large Image (33 Kbyte gif) which is at the moment all I have (except the coat of arms which I will scan if I find it again somewhere in my chaos...). Sorry for the poor quality and the large picture. I will revise this page soon! If you can give me some additional information about the name please send me a mail to peter@guhl.. The address is spam-shielded. Just complete the domain name by adding "net" to end of the address when you have it in your mail program. Thanks in advance.
