FamilySearch just sent me a time line for my Great Grandfather, Christoph Frederick ("Friedrich" in Germany) Imle, who appears to be a common ancestor of every single person in the U.S. with the name "Imle" (with this spelling). I thought it was of some interest and it appears to be basically correct. I do have sharper photos, however.
