Johan Mohlein was born in 1785 to Johan Mohlein in Ludwach Germany and some of his descendants came thru Havre De grace Maryland, then on to Oconto WI and there are 125 now in my family tree on Rootsweb [a free site]and ancestry.com. Does anyone know where the name came from? We heard a long time ago it meant little black boy and it was a morish name. What is morish? I am having a family re-union later this summer in Oconto,WI and would like to hook up with anyone else who has any more info. I also have seen Merlin as jewish? Also that these jewish people lived in Russia....... Are they all related?
