Re: Surname Lyerla
in reply to a message by Stephen Miller
It was later than the dates you mentioned since your first ancestor to come to the US was Johann Christoph Leyerle who was born in 1710. He came from Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg and married Elizabeth Christina Holtzhauser in Culpeper County, VA around 1755. The surname was altered to Lyerla in the mid 1800s.
