Eight and a half years of guestbook entries (part 1)
Here is the raw content of the guestbook, ranging from April 1997 to November 2005. Consider this as an archive, many links and e-mail addresses are outdated. There won't be any other guestbook on this website because since it started, it has evolved a lot. Consider this:
- Then, a lot of people didn't have a personal e-mail address yet in order to contact us but now, it is easy to get a free web-based e-mail address should one not have one yet.
- Some just wanted to say hello, say that they are part of the family, now they can register with the web site and actively take part in the shaping of its content.
- Some wanted to know whether we have more details about this or that person, now they can log into the family tree and see everything we know.
- And finally, some posted an extensive report about their family which they still can do now, by submitting news.
Part one covers the years 1998-1997.

The Netherlands, January the 17th, 1999
We (Martin, Jetty, Joeri, Cindy, Bernadette) all belong to the Indonesian/Dutch Iseli tree. We are ancestors of Friedrich Iseli and Katharina Luthe from Lutzelfluh. We are currently living in the center of The Netherlands and our three children study in Amsterdam. It's interesting to see how widespread the Iseli name is!
Have a great end of the Millenium and perhaps we'll meet in 2001?!

I just found this web site and am so pleased. I would like to correspond with more ISLEY researchers. I am looking for my great-grandparents, whom I believe to have been THOMAS ISLEY, born 8 June 1857, possibly in TN. My grandfather was GIRVAS ISLEY, b. 30 Dec 1885 in Clay County, MO. He was one of about 10-11 kids. Any help would be most appreciated.

I am Sophi? Reinecke n?e Yzelle from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Finding this web page was very exiting. My son, Yzelle Viljoen, given the first name Yzelle for my father who had no sons to carrry the family name (See his visitors entry) will furnished you with some info about our family which my father, now 81, looked up in the archives in Cape Town 60 years ago. I visited Bern and, interestingly, also Interlaken in 1992 with my sons, and we intend to try our best to be there again for the reunion.
Greetings to all

My name is Linda Easley Kern. Been trying to locate our family from Switzerland. I learned that when my great grandfather and brother came from Switz. their last name was Iseli. Some how it became Easley. I believe they are the only ones that came over from their family with the brother returning to Switz. I'm anxious to get my hands on the Family Bible which originated in Switz. that should give me alot more information.
My great grandfather was Benjamin (Iseli) Easley he had two sons I know of for sure, John (my grandfather) and Gene who never married.
May God Bless,

Hi, My grandfather Clifford Isaly was the son of Jacob Isaly. As I recall the history, grandfather managed the Isaly Dairy farm in the Youngstown, OH. area. In 1935, he purchased his own Isaly store in Evans City, PA. I grew up there and worked many years at the store. Made lots of skyscraper cones.

I look forward to hearing from any of you soon.

It,s nice to hear or read something about the family-name: ISELI. I myself am an ISELI. Although my parents both are Indonesians, I wear my fathers, lastname: ISELI. An ancestor of my fathers side must be a Swiss guy.

I belive I have already "signed" this guest book, but I want to add this entry to say how excited I am about the family reunion planned for the year 2001. I will be making every effort to attend myself and will also encourage my siblings to attend. Many thanks to those who have planned this event.
My part of the Iseli family is from the Wisconsin Isely branch. There are five Isely siblings, all in our 40's and 50's, in our immediate family. We live in Illinois, Arizona and California. We all are married and have children who are scatterd throughout the states and England.

My Great-great-great Grandfather, Peter Isley was from North Carolina and the family information I have now says his father was John Isley. He was from Guilford County, N.C. I would like to trace my Isley's roots back to the country they originated from. The family info I have now states that Peter Isley's grandfather fought in the Revolutionary war, but I have no documentation of any thing except that Peter was definately from N. Carolina. Peter and his wife, Mary moved to Missouri where they homesteaded for 20 years and then moved to Nebraska where their children had established farms. Mary and Peter Isley are buried here in Nebr. What a wonderfully organized website!!!
North Wales UK, 12.07.98 - 22:56
Most interested to learn about possible origin of my name. Have a family tree going back to approx. 1750 but prior to that I have evidence that the name Isley was known in 1446 when William Isley was Shire Reeve (Sheriff) of Kent (S.E. of London). The ancient arms of Isley of Kent may be described as "Ermine a fess vair".
I wonder if William could originally have been an Iseli ?
Best wishes to all readers.

I grew up in the farmhouse that is mentionned in the article about Jegenstorf, and is called "zum Neuhaus".This house is still in my possession. I now live in Ottawa,Canada. It would be great to hear from other Iseli descendants in Canada.

This is real exciting to me. From what I gather my great grandfather and brother came from Bern, Switzerland. I'm not sure as to when. From there they went to Monroe County, in Ohio.
I will very interested to see if we can trace our family back.
Some time our name was changed to Easley. I don't know if it happened when they went through customs or what ever it is they due. We do have a family book from Switzerland. Needless to say we haven't been able to translate alot of it. They seemed to speak a language similar to German. However, my grandmother very German, my grandfather the swiss/german could not understand one another when they would get upset.
According to my dad.
Thanks,
I look forward to checking this sight out further.
May God Bless you and Keep you,
