In the early 1900's my grandparents, Frederick Stoll & Johanna Reppuhn, left their home and traveled by ship to the US.
Over one hundred years later, the internet allows us to travel the world without leaving our homes.
We're able to communicate with friends and family; whether they be in faraway places or just down the street.
We are able to meet people and learn things we could never have experienced at the time my grandparents crossed the ocean.
Our family has grown from one to many, in the generations that have passed. Many last names have merged into our family.
Whatever the case may be; whether you're family, a friend, or just visiting. Welcome to our online home.
Thanks for visiting,
Fred
The Stoll surname comes from the Middle High German/Middle Low German word "stolle," meaning a "support" or "frame." As such, the name may have been an occupational name for a carpenter, or perhaps a nickname for a rigid person.
The surname Stoll was first found in Switzerland, in the canton of Zurich, where the name Stolle was closely identified in early medieval times with the feudal society which would become prominent throughout European history.
The name would later emerge as a noble family with great influence, having many distinguished branches in Bavaria, and become noted for its involvement in social, economic, and political affairs.
Some Spelling variations of this family name include Stolle, Stol, Stoller, Stole, Stohl, Stolhe
