The
majority of my genealogical information is on the Caspar
Biele branch of the Biele family.
Caspar was the first Biele of my family to immigrate to the United
States. Please view his page
for more detailed information.
Caspar
and his family were from the Westphalia area of western Germany.
I have found other Biele families (possibly related) from
the Westphalia area, but also across all of Germany including Baden and
Sachen. I have also located
Bieles in Italy and Spain, some originally from Germany, and also in
Latvia, England, Poland, and even Australia.
The
largest group of Bieles outside of Germany is in the United States.
Many of the families were originally clustered around New York City,
though there were also families in the 1800’s in Missouri and
Pennsylvania. Today they are
spread throughout the United States from North to South and East to West.

IGI Germany page provides a summary of all
Biele listings from Germany on the International Genealogical Index

families including Social Security
Records, New York City Vital
Records, New York City Directory
Listings, and Ship Logs.
