Hello searchers of the "Gembler Clan" in the San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas area!
I am stumped on the parents of William F. Gembler b.April 19, 1854 in Germany, per his DC, d.March 8, 1926 in Bexar County, Texas shows W.W.White Rd. On his son, John C.'s, DC his initials are shown as W.M.F.Gembler. He married Wilhelmina Jacobs ca 1876. I find them on the Bexar County, Texas census from 1880-1920. They parented 12 children, one of their sons, Albert J. married Mary M. Barkmeyer. Mary's sister, Theresa, married Wilhelm H. Haecker.
Since my husband descends from Johann Andreas Gembler&Katherine Meinste Mdargaretha Janzsen and Johann Jacob Gembler&Fredericke Catherine Janzsen on his grandfathers line and Wilhelm Frederick Carl Haecker&Dorothea Theadora Grobe on his grandmothers line, I feel this William F. Gembler is bound to be connected some way!
Thanks for any help on this.

His grandparents are mostly likely Johann Ludwig Gembler b 25 Jun 1776 Pfalzdorf, Kleve, Niederrhein, Germany and Catharina Elisabeth Reis. Though I can't tell you which of their sons is William F. Gembler's father. I am descended from their son Andreas Christian Gembler (1817-1913).

Thanks so much for your reply! I finally, after finding a passenger list for New Orleans,showing Johann Friedrich with children William F. and Ida arriving in 1871, decided this must be the son of John Ludwig and Katherine Reis that I had very little info about.
Alright here is my husband's "convoluted" Gembler line:
Erna Emma d/o Walter Richard s/o Johann Harm s/o Johann Andreas who married 1st cousin Susanna d/o Johann Jacob-----Johann Andreas & Johann Jacob being sons of Johann Ludwig III & Katherine Reis-------Then, to further confuse, me anyway, Johann Harm divorced Susannah and married a 2nd cousin, Gretchen Johanna, d/o Johann Ludwig Frederich & Tomka Margaretha Ihnen.
This line has caused a portion of the gray hair I have!:>)
