Kuglers of Germany/Netherlands (Maybe relatives of Kaiser Wilhelm?)

Kuglers of Germany/Netherlands (Maybe relatives of Kaiser Wilhelm?)

Hello! I was wondering if someone may be able to help me solve something about my Kugler Family.

My grandmother was born in 1932 to Andrew Phillips (1889) and Justina Kugler (1910).

My great-grandmother, Justina, has an interesting but mysterious past.

Justina was born to Karl (Carl) Kugler. Karl, as far as I know, had a couple of daughters: Clara, Paulina, and Justina.

Between 1910 and 1930, Karl was with Paulina in America about the Philadelphia area. Paulina married Andrew Phillips. In September of 1929, Justina came to America. Three months later, on New Year's day 1930, Paulina died (Yellow Fever?) and within 2 years, Andrew and Justina got married and had many kids.

The more interesting part: Clara and Justina would say our family is related to Kaiser Wilhelm. We were also Barons and Baroness in the German area and have a swiss bank account taken during WWI. These may be tall tales, but they were persistent throughout the years.

Any input would help!

May I ask who this is? I was looking for answers also and i came across this! Well, your story is my story. My great grandmom was Justine Phillips and she told us all this exact same story. I think you are my cousin Danny.

There are some things that we cannot piece together. tina died in Romania, we do not know how. My great grandmother ssays she remembers a lot of blood. It was klara that always insisted that we are related to franz joseph. My grandmother has a picture of one of her brothers that looks exactly like franz joseph. If klara had a different mother, she was third born??? And all of her other siblings had the same mother??? And who are karl's parents? Paulina's parents??? Also, Hitler went through our family and declared us German although our family lived in Jewish community. One of our aunts had her finger blown off because the man behind her wasn't hailing Hitler. On karl's census records, he write down, in his own handwriting that we are German decent.
