Kähler / Kaehler Descendency Chart

Updated July 25, 2011

Descendants of Dr. Med. Johann Siegfried Kähler

1743 - 1820

NOTES:
The numbering system here is the same as in the Kähler family history book Stammtafeln des Hofrats Dr. med. Johann Siegfried Kähler und seiner Nachkommen from 1888, and also the later version in 1930.
There are five books about the Kähler family tree.
Note that the first and middle names are reversed in German. Johann Siegfried Kähler would have been known as Siegfried. For family members born in the US, the first name is first, as is normal here.
The bulk of the information is from the 1888 family history. I own a copy of the updated 1930 (Berlin) Stammtafeln. Karen McIver (C.III.3.f.C.II.) typed in some of the book in 2004 and added her relatives in the US. She created the page that was at http://geocities.com/Heartland/Park/1865/kaehler.html. I maintain this updated version. Some branches in this chart are missing, but I am slowly filling them in.
If you detect any errors in this Kaehler Family Tree, or you wish to add names, please contact Ted Kaehler (B.V.3.d.B.I.) or Bob Barnett (C.III.3.d.B.III.). The first part of Ted's email address is ted-pb and the second part is legenda.com.
