John Leonard Dekle Grave Is Relocated

Records Page (Under Construction)

 Dekle Farm Receives Historic Designation

 Dekle DNA Project Started to Trace Our Family To Europe  

Dedicated to the Descendants of
John Leonard Dekle (Deakle) (1737-1828) 
Immigrant to the New World

The founder of the Dekle and Deakle Families in America immigrated from Germany in the mid 1700's and is known to have settled in what is now Candler County, Georgia. The primary purpose of this page is to collect and verify the history of John Dekle's arrival and early history (before 1800) in America, and to trace him back to Germany.
The secondary purpose is to serve as a genealogy site for the Dekle, Deakle and related families.

This Site is Also Dedicated to The Memory of 
Anne Coleman Dekle
1928-1999

Anne extensively revised and in 1998, republished the definitive book on the Dekle Family, Dekle and Dekle Descendants of the U.S.A. originally published in 1978 by Ansel Dekle.  

All copies of the book have been sold and I am aware of no immediate plans for a reprint. However, Ranes Carter has the entire book available on the web (with some new additions) at www.dekleusa.com   
  
 Thanks to David Sprinkle of Bayou La Batre, Alabama who furnished the Deakle information on this site linking the current day Dekle and Deakle families. The Deakle family is not in the book Dekle and Dekle Descendants of the U.S.A., however,  the Deakle family has now been added to this site. Click Here for an explanation.

The music is a traditional Irish tune called "Kilgary".
