No doubt, I gave you the wrong impression that the Kirchen family originated in Luxembourg...I don't know that for a fact. However, I do know the Ernsters and Mays came from Lux. Nicholas John Ernster married Anna Margaret May (his 2nd wife). He had children from his 1st wife. He and Anna Margaret May had George,Frank, , Elizabeth, Catherine, John. Catherine marr. John P. Kirchen, Sr. -- teacher. I have Catherine's obit. I am really trying to find Nicholas John Ernster's date of death....does he have brothers and sisters? After N.J.Ernster's death, Anna Margaret married Joseph Abel. Bernie
