Original contact, Traci Renee (Yankle) Kaibel and Robert Palmer Yankle II, email msg dated 4/26/2003:
Bob,
We must be related. I don't think there is a Yankle in the U.S. not related, but I could be wrong. I am the daughter of Marlowe Allan Yankle. His dad was Arthur (other brothers were Barney (Florida - deceased) and Richard (didn't know). Their father was John and this is where the connection comes in. John and Henry were bros. Harold is recorded in my info as Henry's son. We were in contact with Danny Yankle for quite a while. (He was a cuz.) Danny was trying to put together the family tree as far back as he could. I don't guess he was able to get in touch with everyone before he died. He did, however, send my aunt lots of info who in turn sent the info to me because my brother whom you contacted was also doing some research. Al has since given the job to me. Anyway, you can e-mail me at kaibel@msn.com if you would like to communicate further.
We are the Yankles of the South. Dad used to say "Damn Yankees." It would be great to hear from you.

Marlowe Allan Yankle II is the youngest son of Marlowe Allan Yankle and Lillian (Muntz) Yankle. Allan is also the youngest great, great grandson of Frederick and Henrietta Yankle.
Allan was born April 10, 1970 in Mobile, Alabama, and has recently returned there after having lived in St. Petersburg, FL, for a few years. He graduated from Fairhope High School in 1990.
Allan is a graphic artist and has designed several websites for a number of clients. He’s also tried his hand at producing an action-hero comic book series, but met with limited success.
In February of 1998, Allan met Angela Ibsen Johnson at a dinner party hosted by a mutual friend. They dated for a few years and finally married on October 6, 2001, in Mobile, Alabama.
Angela has a much renowned literary ancestor on her side of the family: one of her great granduncles was Henrik Ibsen, a famous Danish author who wrote English novels, most notably, The Doll House. He also wrote the story that was later used by Edward Grieg for "Peer Gynt".
Allan recently graduated from the University of Southern Alabama. His original major was in Marketing, but he switched over to a newly created curriculum in E-Commerce, graduating in 2002.
Angela dreams one day of refurbishing an old house, acting in the capacity of Interior Designer. Before she does that, however, she must play Mom to the newborn twins in her family, Abigail Marie and Isabelle Sophia Yankle, born January 27th, 2004.
