2 CONC stuck after the French explorers left Wisconsin, with the spelling and 
2 CONC pronunciation Anglicized as the "dells". When the railroad arrived in 
2 CONC 1857, the new village established at the point where the tracks crossed 
2 CONC the Wisconsin River, was named Kilbourn City in honor of the railroad's 
2 CONC president - but locals and visitors alike never stopped referring to the 
2 CONC area as the "Dells". In 1931, the city of Kilbourn officially changed its 
2 CONC name to Wisconsin Dells.

2 CONT Hi, below is the latest info I have on this family. You will notice that 
2 CONC the name spelling is BERDOLL and that is correct. Your Hannah and my 
2 CONC Josephine ended up using the spelling of BERDALL. I do not know when the 
2 CONC changed, but the records in the Columbia County Court House in Wisconsin 
2 CONC are clear. In addition the LDS records list the French spelling as 
2 CONC BERDOLL and that is where Louis was born. As time permits I will dig 
2 CONC deeper. Thanks for your info, Armin Gumerman
