William Utermohlen Website
The Utermohlen name appears in three main versions in Germany:
- Utermöhlen -- Göttingen and the villages to the south and west, since before 1400
- Utermöhle -- from Schorborn about 1750, a center of glass manufacturing
- Utermöhl -- from Lübeck in northern Germany, since at least 1500
Whether all of these families are related is under investigation. Male Utermohlens are encouraged to participate in the Y chromosome study at Family Tree DNA.
In the United States, further spelling differences have been introduced. Some families have continued the German spelling with the umlaut rendered as "oe" instead of "ö." Others have just used "o" or "e" and dispensed with any umlaut equivalent. Other families, usually after an initial period of varying spellings, have settled on their own version, such as "Uttermohlen" (West Virginia) or "Utermahlen" (Michigan).
