Hi. This message was previously posted in the "Kugel" thread. How to move the post wasn't clear to me, so I figured I'd repost this here. If that is incorrect forum procedure, my apologies.

My great-grandfather's name was Leroy R. Kugle, born 4 Mar 1893 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was briefly married to Lucille Scott. They had two sons Whitfield Kugle and Leroy Kugle. On Leroy R. Kugle's death certificate, it lists his parents as Ezra Kugle and Anna Reeder.

Ezra Kugle was married to two (at least) different women named Anna/Annie. The first wife's name was Annie Kehr and the second was Anna Ehman. Neither seem to have any tie or references to the name Reeder. Here's where things get weird (or weirder)...

Ezra Kugle had a son with Anna Ehman named Leroy Kugle in 1896. This is not the same man as Leroy Kugle born in 1893. These men have different headstones, different wives, different dates or death, etc. They are definitely not the same person.

I have search all avenues I can think of and am at a loss. I cannot find my great-grandfather on any census prior 1930. He's not really linked to Ezra at all, with exception of the death certificate. I cannot find ANYTHING on Anna Reeder at all. This whole story is all very peculiar.

I am looking for any information on these people that could tie my great-grandfather to his parents, or maybe offer more information on any that could provide new leads. I have lots of additional information that I could share if anyone needs.

Thanks for your time in advance.
