Dear Louise, Thanks for your reply to my query about my G uncle, Martin Albert Kisling. Yes, I know Mike Keesling (Va Kissling branch) and Tim Keesling (Indiana Kissling branch) also. That Kissling family is not closely related to mine, that we know of. That Kissling family was from Wuertemberg, mine from Franconia. Recently we found out some further information about the entire Kissling/Kiessling family, its origin, and the origin of the name. It indicates that all us Kiesslings come from the same source. Ask Mike or Tim about this. They have the information too. Earl F. Kisling, San Pablo, CA
