Norm, Your question is a good one :-) We haven't really determined yet why Rootsweb made so many Kaylor & variants lists, although it is said it was to catch those who are searching each variant. I am the List Owner for Kaylor & Kaler, Leslie is the List owner for Koehler. We try to share each others post most of the time. One person asked me if it was necessary to sub to all the variant listings....my answer was that I would try to forward all my lists messages to the other lists, but in case I forgot/overlooked to do that, then it would be best to sub to all of them. I, also, have the Rootsweb GenConnect Cluster Boards for KAYLOR, not sure that anyone has those on the other variants? One can post queries, bios, deeds, wills, pensions, etc. to these Boards. I welcome all the variants there. Here is the address for the KAYLOR Cluster Boards where scrolling way down the page, one can find the links to the bios, queries, etc.. http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/k/a/KAYLOR/ At last I hope that URL works! If not let me know and I will dig further. Your line is interesting in that they came from Switzerland. Most come from Germany, but I have seen the Dutch lineages before. Thanks for posting. Hope this answered your questions.

Thanks for posting this! A good idea to repost even without added new information! Let's see some of other lineages here even if you have posted earlier on the Kaler, Koehler & variants lists.

We had already found information that our Christian F. KÖHLER (1837 Germany-1906 MO) fought on the union side during the civil war, so yesterday I looked for him in the "1890 MO Veterans Census Index" ISBN 0-914311-68-9. I finally found him listed as Christian COLER, on p 52. His headstone spelling is KOEHLER. (Once again, one never knows under what spelling a person will be found at different times.)

For those of you who do not receive the Rootsweb Review, this June 1999 SSDI is most recent: NEWS AND NOTES AT ROOTSWEB ROOTSWEB ADDS JUNE 1999 SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX (SSDI). Now you can access the most recent version of the SSDI at RootsWeb <http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi>. Accessible fields include first and last names, date of birth, month and year of death, last residence, last benefit, Social Security Number, and the state where it was issued. You can narrow a search to a particular state, country, city or zip code, or to a particular date of birth or death, by using the Advanced Search Feature. When you find a record of interest, you can automatically generate a printer ready letter to the Social Security Administration requesting a photocopy of the actual application for a Social Security Number (Form SS-5-Social Security Number Record Third Party Request for Photocopy). This new database, which is running on two new high-performance servers, is another example of your contributions at work. The more that you contribute, the more free genealogical data RootsWeb can make available to the Internet community of genealogists Mary Ann
