Position:Home>Genealogy> Does anyone know the origin of the Jewish name "STODEL"?


Question:Ancestry.Com shows 1 Stodel immigrant from Holland and 1 from Germany.

The 1820-1957 New York passenger lists shows ethnicty of Stodel passengers as
Hebrew, Dutch, English, Netherlander, French.

The 1920 census has birthplace of people named Stodel as Holland, England, Connecticut, Germany, Belgium, Illinois, Indiana, New York.

The same name can come from more than one nationality and not everyone with the same surname are related.

Also I think some names are labeled Jewish in the U. S. as a large percentage of people with those surnames that immigrated to the U. S. were Jewish while back in their home countries they were used by Jews and non Jews alike.
