[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Schmidtke of Chelm, Poland, Russia

[shoning at q.com]

I may be pointing out the obvious, but the Fuhl surname could also be "Fühl" (incidentally, the German word for "feel"), and depending upon what search engine you use or how you search for the name, you may not find "Fühl" when you are looking with "Fuhl".  Of course, "Fühl" could be anglicized as "Fuehl".

Sigrid and Mhairi,

 . . . The Fuhl surname is very uncommon.  It only appears once in our main database of over 500,000 names.  It appears in EWZ records with origins in Ludmilopol in western Volhynia which is not all that far from Chelm.  It also appears once (same location) showing a birth in 1887 in our VKP Database (formerly St. Pete Database)
