Do you know of Wilhelm ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Wilhelm. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Wilhelm.<1>

Our sources for Wilhelm (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Wilhelm other than they indicate that Wilhelm would be found somewhere in Erie County, New York.
