The Franz Joseph Roelle Family from Karlsruhe- Baden-Germany (Prussia), my Great Great Grandfather, first appears in Chicago in the 1854 Chicago Directory. He married Margaret Jopsephine Dreucke in 1846 in Baden- Karlsruhe- Germany (Prussia). He immigrated to the United States in 1851 with his brother Joseph Roelle and sister Wilhelmina (Minna) Immekus.

My father was Roger John Roelle born June 22, 1917 in Chicago to Louis Anthony Roelle and Mary Jane Rafferty Roelle- Lineage John C. Roelle son of Franz Joseph Roelle.

In addition I am researching my Maternal roots-The Delany family of Wadsworth, Lake County Illinois. John Delany arrived in the United States in 1837 and married Bridget Maher (Meagher) in 1842 in New York. John J. purchased land in Lake County in 1842. My research shows that the family spelled the name Delaney and Delany.

My mother was Patricia Agnes Delany born June 1, 1918 in Chicago to Charles John Delany and Catherine Helen Alcock Delany- Lineage William Brennan Delany son of John J. Delany.

And then there are all those branches- Rafferty- Alcock- Riordan- Reardon-Cannon- Martin- Laib- Fitzpatrick- Grotke- Raab

Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have.
