Well, I certainly managed to goof. Sorry folks. Here is the info for the first posting ---- this time *with* a subject line. Leslie ``````` While searching the 1900 census for my husband's Christian KOEHLER, who lived in LaPlata TWP, Macon County, MO, I came across 2 KOEHLERs (not ours) who were living there. They are: John KOEHLER, age 27, b June 1872 and his sister, Ema R. KOEHLER, age 18, b Aug 1881 They were both shown as being born in IL, and their parents are listed as being born in Germany. I am hoping that this information will be of help to someone here. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler -- Administrator for most of these K-L-R lists
