Dear Helen, ooh, my God, I cant believe that anybody else apart from me is searching for Keiterling or Keiderling. They seem to be the same people. All German Heritage. My Mother is one of the Keiterling that is still alive. I would be glad if we can start communicate. I live in Germany and I am waiting for your Reply. Thank you very much.
Yours Bärbel

The Keiterling Family Name
I am researching the Keiterling name in my family in reagrds to Clara Keiterling Von Schlesien. She was born in 1874 in Chemnitz, Germany and married Mathias Herman Dreyer who was born in 1872 in Papenburg, Germany. Mathias was a ship's captain and married Clara in New Jersey in 1905. They had two children named Elizabeth and Martin and divorced at one point as Mathias remarried. Clara died in 1935 in New Jersey. If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me so we chat discus the Keiterling name.

Re: The Keiterling Family Name
Just a remark. My family - just w.r.t. the Keiderlings - comes, as far as I know, from Thuringia. But, when I was in West-Berlin end of the eighties, there lived a widow with family name Keiderling. She told me, that the family of her husband definately came from Silesia (Geman: Schlesien), not from Thuringia. But, since she didn't know much about the Keiderlings, she couldn't (or didn't want to) tell me any further details.

Re: The Keiterling Family Name
I am related to Clara Keiterling Von Schlesien born in Chemnitz, Germany on April 4, 1867. She married a ship's captain named Mathias Herman Dreyer from Papenburg, Germany. The followng is a few Keiterlings who might be related but are not confirmed as relatives :
Cristiane Wilhelmine Schlesien married Carl Friedrich Flade 2/2/1873 in Pfaffroda, Chemnitz, Sachsen ? possible relative
Catherina Elisabeth Keiterling born 11/11/1841 in Horschlitt, Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Thuringen - father Philipp Stein - mother Catharina Keiterling
I am assuming that the "Von Schlesien" part of her name means that she is of "Schlesia or Silesia".
I think that the spelling of the name and it's rarity make it difficult to trace but if you have any other ideas, they would be appreciated.

Re: The Keiterling Family Name
Horschlitt is a part of the town of Berka/Werra. Berka/Werra belongs to Thuringia. At about 1800 it belonged to "Sachsen-Weihmar-Eisenach" All Keiderlings of my family come from Berka/Werra or small villages close to, as Wuenschensuhl or Horschlitt is. So the original name is maybe Keiderling instead of Keiterling. Up to now, nobody could tell me anything about the ethymological meanig of the name Keiderling. Kind regards, Siegfried

My Grandmother was a Ketterling. I believe they underwent a name change when they migrated to Southern Russia. However, they were originally from Germany. Milta Ketterling & Reinhold Zimmerman l John Ketterling & Katherine Hoffer l Martin Ketterling & Barbara Stevahn l Adam Ketterling & Anna Marie Docker
If you have any information I'd love to hear it. Thanks Bret Mayer
