Currently, the telephone book of Newfoundland and Labrador shows only one entry under Goebel; that's my family. We came here in 1983 from Ontario, Canada. The Goebel name in my case originates from Dortmund, Germany, but before that I am told that it came from the area of Netphen.

My Goebel ancestors are HELMUT MARTIN GOEBEL, FRIEDRICH GOEBEL, FRANZ MARTIN GÖBEL, PHILIPP GÖBEL, JOHANNES GÖBEL, PHILIPP GÖBEL. I know nothing about Philipp Göbel but his son Johannes Göbel was born on 17-Jan-1787, died 29-Jun-1870. He married Margareta Böckling on 25-May-1809. She was the daughter of Hermann Böckling and Maria Elisabeth Löhr and was born on 10-Oct-1782 and died on 24-Mar-1849. I would like to find ancestors going back in time as well as find other living relatives.

The other branches of my family that I would like to research are Bonkhoff, von Kalben and von Doering. I am willing to share any information I have.
