Dear Genres,

I am researching the ROHEL name and my ROHEL Ancestor's from Paskov, Moravia, Czech Rep. "Frantisek ROHEL (Apr 27, 1876 - ) m. Johanna SLOVACKOVA (Jul 08, 1878 - )"

Interesting background on the name ROHEL:

"ROHLE - town": (derived from ROHEL, Rohlik) in Moravia, Czech Republic, going back to the year 1356.

"Gilbert de ROHEL" .... In the rental of the county for 1226 Alan son of Bernulf was said to be holding Bickerstaffe, paying the customary 5s, and in 1246 Alan de Bickerstath claimed a third of the manor against Adam de Bickerstath, Simon his brother, Gilbert de ROHEL, and Roger and Walter de Bickerstath. On this occasion Alan withdrew his claim. Adam de Bickerstath's name frequently appears in charters and other public acts of the time, for example when he prosecuted John le Norvs in 1282...

Sanctuaries in nature. According to the Roman historian Tacitus the Germans worshipped their gods on holy places in nature. From Medieval sources, like the 9th century "Indiculus superstitionem" and the laws to fight heathenism that were created after 775AD by Charlemagne, we can distinct between three types of holy places: • Hills, rocks and stones;• Flowing rivers, lakes, bogswamps and wells;• Forests and trees. The Netherlands still has quite an amount of sanctuaries that date back to heathen times. Places with the word "Hel" in their names. Research indicates that places with Hel-names in the Netherlands are mostly located near the northside of the nearest building centers. Often there was a waterpool there that was seen as the door to Hel (the world of the dead). In Old-Saxon this door was called "helldor". The Germans localised the world of the dead to the North, while this was unimportant in later Christian legends. The name of the constellation Grote Beer/La Grande Casserole/The Plough/The Big Dipper, which the Germans used as orientation to find the north, was "Helwagen". (Hell-wagon) The myths also locate Hel in the north. In heathen gravefields the skeletons are positioned in a North-South direction, something that also points to the belief that the land of the dead was to the north (Christian graves have an East-West direction). Names with the word "Hel" in Frisia are among others: (ROHEL near St. Jansga, Augustinusga, Bolsward and Slappeterp)

"The surname ROCHELLE, variants of the surname include ROTCHELL, ROCKELL, ROCKALL and in France ROCHEL, LAROCHELLE, LAROCHETTE and ROHEL":
A form of ROACH, is of local origin, deriving from a geographic feature, either natural or man made, near where the initial bearer once resided or held land. In this instance it is derived from the Middle English or Old French "roche" (later replaced in England by "rock", from the Norman byform "rocque"). Therefore, the progenitor of the surname was someone who lived by a rocky crag or outcrop. Some early examples of the surname derive from various places in Normandy, as for example Les Roches in Seine-Maritime, named with this word. In that case, the name would be toponymic in origin, and the progenitor was someone who hailed from a place named La Rochelle, Les Rocehes, etc.
