Dear Lydia,
I am interested in the Kachelmeier surname also. Your Kachelemier surname is intertwined with my Siegl family of Volmau, Bohemia.
Johann Kachelmaier (1802-1852) married Anna Maria Siegl (1802-1863). Their son Frank (1845-) maried Magdalena Fellner. Their known children Frank (1872-1938) married Frances Halamka (1885-1980) lived in Slinger, WI.; Barbara (1866-1943) married Wenceslaus Meingast (1859-1930)lived in Milwaukee, WI; and Catherine (1866-1943) married William Schneider (1869- ) lived in Chilton. WI. These families were from Hasselbach, Bohemia a few km north east of Vollmau.
Karl Kachelmaier/eier (say 1874) married Maria Siegl (1874-1909) and lived in Hasselbach.
Anton Kachelmeier (say 1875-1919) married Katharina Siegl (1876-1951) lived in Vollmau and after the explusion in Fruth im Wald, Bavaria.
Any connection?
