I asked my aunt who is 90 if she knows of a Eugene Kegel and she says no. My grandpa and family came from Germany in the early 1900's from a twon named Urach near Stuttgart. If anyone out there has any info on these people please let me know.The girls were Anna, Wilhelmina,Sophie,and Lydia. William had a son named Harry. Charles had a son named Elmer and a daughter named Bertha. I believe most of the family came to Menomonee Michigan and Cities in Wisconsin. Any contact would be helpful.

most of the kegel family was up near the east coast, my great-grandfather would be the well known Dr. Arnold Kegel a wellknown famous doctor. I further my information on the history of all Kegels, or atleast any who are linked to my family...and to my knowledge but if anyone has anything about the last name and history, much thanks and looking forward to hearing.

My maiden name is Kegel. My father's name was Jerome Charles Kegel and his brother's name was Charles Herbert Kegel (both deceased). They spent their early life in Chicago, Ill, later they moved to Detroit, Mi. My grandfather's name was also Charles Kegel. I don't know his father's name. I know he was an artist and at one time his works were in the Chicago Museum of Arts. He was ostracized from his family due to the fact that he was an artist, which was frowned upon in his era. When my grandfather returned to Michigan, he tried to see his grandmother, but was turned away as the family thought she might leave him money in her will. He never contacted or spoke with them again. My grandfather had only one sibling, a sister, named Adeline.

I know little about the family name or area of Germany they immigrated from. You can google my uncle Chuck. He had a photographic memory and had an IQ of about 200. He served most of his career at Idaho State(he loved Hemingway). My father was a registered professional engineer and earned the Distinguished Service Cross in WWII. I don't know if any of this helps you, but I would appreciate any information you might give me.

I posted about two weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it. I think we are related.
Julius Kegel married twice. The first wife was a Theresa Kaulferish (sp) in Detroit. They had one son, Paul Charles. Theresa then died and Julius married for a second time, to a woman named Christina Pfeiffle. This all took place during the Civil War era. The couple then had a bunch of kids, including William who is my connection. I have been unable to locate anything of Paul Charles Kegel after he 1880 census. However, my uncle, Tom Kegel, gave me a book from a profesor in Idaho who said this Kegel was an uncle or cousin to my grandfather. Please write back ASAP.

The professor in Idaho was probably my uncle, Chuck, or Charles Kegel (deceased) my father's brother. You can google Chuck. He was president of Idaho State at one time. He loved Idaho because one of his favorite writers was Hemmingway and Chuck was an English Lit professor. He had an IQ that was off the charts and a photographic memory. I am so glad you responded because my Dad is also deceased and there is no one to help me put together the pieces of the genealogy.

Could you provide me with birth/marriage/death dates on your Kegel line? I would like to check these out and then (hopefully) add then to my family line. I have it in my computer and then could send you the newly compiled information. I do have a picture of Julius Kegel who was a Civil War veteran. I also have a lot of Kegel stuff, including passenger list data and grave photos, etc. So, Paul Charles Kegel was born on January 6, 1866 in Deroit. He isn't buried with the family in the Detroit Elmwood Cemetery. This has been a decade long mystery for me and I hope we do connect.

Surnames: Kegel, Militell, Kiederlen,
I have some Kegel family information that might help you. My family kept some written records but most of it was oral history passed down. My Grandmother's maiden name was Kegel. Her first name, Adeline. (She passed away in 1987) Her brother's name was Charles. Her father's name was also Charles and her mother's name, Augusta. Adeline married my grandfather, Sam Militell and they had one child, Ralph, who was my father. When my mom and dad were still alive they drove out to Pocatello, Idaho from Chicago (~1978-79?) to visit Charles Kegel and he gave my father a book that I believe was called "Out Fishing with Hemingway." I remember my mom and dad saying Charles was not in good health at the time of their visit and that he had a lady caretaker looking after him. My father was born in Chicago in 1921 but also lived a very short while in the Detroit area with Adeline. Both my grandfather, Sam, and my father, Ralph, served in the US military.

Well, other than Charles, I don't know those names, but I hope I am getting closer. Julius Kegel's first wife had a son, Paul Charles Kegel right after the Civil War. She then died and he was remarried about a year later in Detroit. Paul Charles Kegel then saw his step mom and real dad have about 8 more kids. I lose him after the 1880 census in Detroit. However, my uncle once said a Kegel relative was living to Idaho and he was given a communication college textbook from 1959 written by Charles Kegel who was said to be a "cousin." Another story from an email from a Kegel researcher was that when Julius died in the early 1900's, Paul came back to Detroit and was seen as someone trying to get money from the will and was given the cold shoulder by his half-brothers/sisters and they parted ways and he left Detroit for good. But, they did't have any other names, so I couldn't really link them to mine. There was a second Kegel family in Detroit that came over around 1880 or so. I don't know if they were relative or not of mine. So, I have been trying to run down Paul Charles Kegel's family (if any) for many years to find a link as Julius' had only two children who had families, William and Otto. Otto had two daughters who never had kids and William only had one son. I will store your data and see if I can get it to work. Thanks.
