Hi Linda, since the Keiderling families are spread all over Germany, we need at least the last residence of your grgrandfather to help you.

Hi Linda, I'm writing to let you know all the info I have on Frank - his wife, Linnie, divorced him in 1935 in Iowa. I found him in the 1930 census living in Cook County, Ill. married to some one else. His father's name was Martin & Mother's name was Mary Collins. His grandfather's name was Niclaus K. & he came from Germany in 1854 on the ship Elise along with his wife, Barbara, c..Nichlaus was born Jan. 9. 1815 and died March 14,1865 in N.J. Barbara remarried Casper B. Tentlinger but I have no idea when she died but I believe it was in Pa.. Martin had 4 brothers - Heinrich (Henry). Adam, Carl (Charles_ all born in Germany, Nicholas born in N.J.& a sister, Catherine. Martin is buried in Waterloo, Iowa - Fairview Cemetery & he died 1915. I started the Keiderling search some years back with only 5 names & now have over 400 so if there is anything else you want to know let me know. By the way, Frank had another daughter, Loretta born 1920 in Iowa. Helen Malone - e-mail - boopty@eazy.net

Linda, The message I sent you about Frank was wrong in Ill.. There were 3 Franks born about the same time & so I made a mistake. I pulled up your tree & because so many are still living - children of Loretta, Loraine & Melvin, I would like to have some names & dates of those heirs to our family. Helen K. Malone

Hi, Helen:

I haven't been able to find any other information about Melvin or Frank (my line). I did not know my grandfather or his family, so I have very few leads. I'd love to hear about anything you might find, though!

Hi. I'm tracking children of Loraine and her husband William Shields (as part of my Baughn project). If you have any information on them, I'd appreciate it. BTW, I recently obtained the obit from William, and can share info.

Linda, In this message, I just reviewed it, Barbara did not marry a Kasper Tentlinger - his last name was Dutlinger & when he died, Barbara collected his civil war pension. The reason for the wrong name - on their marriage entry, it was spelled Tentlinger & her last name was spelled Keidling. I'm glad I was able to find this big boo boo & can make it right. By the way, were you able to find the dates of births I hoped you could find.

your cuz. Helen
