An ancestor, an Uels man, from Schlotzau became an administrator of the courtyard of the count in Langenschwarz where he died in 1699. Ils{J.Adam}: with his wife {Katharina} age 31 in 1798 at age 34 he was living in his in-laws household with his 4 children ages .25 to 11 (Mai1798:Wt31).

In 1798 he was still in Walter with a married son, his wife and his 5 children ages 4-14 (Mai1798:Wt60). Ihl{Adam}: he apparently was in Zug in 1772 when his daughter left there to marry in Schoenchen; they appear in no FSL and may have been Zug first settlers. Ihl{Adam}: in 1781 he married in Zug Strecklein{Dorothea} from Obermonjou daughter of {Peter} (Mai1798:Mv2059). Ihl{A.Elisabeth}: in 1796 daughter of {Philipp} of Zug married Goetz{Heinrich| in Schoenchen where they were living in 1798 in his parents household (Mai1798: Mv3073, Sn08). Ihl{A.Maria}: daughter of Ihl{Adam}, in 1772 she of Zug, her first husband Herold{Michael} having died, married Zang{Christian} in Schoenchen where she and her second husband were living in 1798(Mai1798:Mv3050, Sn23).

Ihl{Elisabeth}: was wife of Depperschmidt{Heinrich} when they were living with their 4 children in 1798 {Mai1798:Zg27). Ihl{Philipp}: he was in Zug in 1798 (Zg21) as were likely children (Mv3067 and 3073, Zg27, 30 and 31), and they are listed in no FSL nor in T, nor is there any indication they moved to Zug from another colony, so they are possible Zug first settlers. Ihl(Katharina E.}: age 23 wife of Weisbecker{J.Jakob} in 1798 when they were living with their 2 children in his parents’ household in Zug (Mai1798:Zg31). Ihl{Philipp}: in 1785 in Zug he married the widow of Johann{Martin } from Luzern; she was {Katharina} maiden name Gak or Mitter; in 1793 they were still in Zug (Mv1611 & Zg21). The interfiled listing of Ihl, Els, Iltz, and Ils folk ends here IlsdorfGL: see Ilsdorff. IlsdorffGL, -Laubach: is near Freisenseen at 50.583 degrees latitude, 9.067 degrees longitude, and said by the Buedingen ML to be homeUC to a Hesler woman who married in 1766 to a Schaeffer man; by 1767 this couple was in Krasnoyar; Stumpp says this Ilsdorf was near , Hessen (Mai&Marquardt#548). Also spelled Ilsdorf. IlsenburgFN, [Wernigerode County]: is some 5 miles NW of Wernigerode town, and was said by the Norka FSL #109 to be homeUC to a Giebelhaus family. Kuhlberg said this was in Magdeburg [Duchy] which was not the case, but this family would have had to pass through nearby Magdeburg lands on their way to Russia and doubtless would have had to have Magdeburg transit papers; both Magdeburg and Wernigerode then were partially controlled by Prussia, so the larger entity, Magdeburg, may have been given responsibility for such things as passports and travel papers for both Magdeburg and Wernigerode. IlsfeldGL, Heilbronn [Amt], Wuerttemberg: is some 6 miles S of Heilbronn city, and mistakenly said by the 1816 Glueckstal census to be homeUC to the Schaefer family.

The lands of two of them, and part of a third, lay contiguously S and SE of Frankfurt-am-Main, and the lands of two others and part of a third lay contiguously N and NE of Hanau city. Given the proclivity (as can be seen in the entries below) of clerks in Russia, both German and Russian, single term Isenburg, it might be that the five sometimes or often handled travel papers and the like jointly? Or was there insufficient knowledge of cental Euopean political geography available in Russia to enable personnel there todistinguish among these small but important countries? The Stahl-am- Karaman FSL seems to transliterate Isenburg as Idenburg or as Rissenburg.
