I was going through my saved e-mail and I came across a message from JIMKEIM, he writes> Good luck with your search. The Jewish KEIM's are all descended from the same family in Germany/Austria, so perhaps we are related. Part of the KEIM family is also intermarried with PHELZERS who are a very prominent family of Rabbi's descended from Aaron, brother of Moses and who were some of the chief Rabbis of Prague. Best Regards, Jim Another person said his ancestors landed in New York as KIEHM and ended up as KEIM. I just thought I would pass this on as it was very interesting to me.

Ancestors of Martha Kimes Generation No. 1 1. Martha Kimes, born ca 1819 in PA; died Aft. 1885. She was the LIKELY the daughter of 2. John Kimes and ???? (maybe Polly Blair).

Ahnentafel is German and means "Ancestor Table". I seem to recall that there is a style of ancestor tabulation which is called Ahnentafel also. -----Original Message----- From: diane and wes miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 12:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [KEIM] ahnentafel Can someone please explain this term for me? ==== KEIM Mailing List ==== Please consider sharing some of your ancestry with us. If you want to remain anonymous, send the data to Cindy <[email protected]> or Diana <[email protected]>.

Family Tree Maker genealogy program lists Ahnentafel as "Ancestor Ordered" and gives the example: 1. Primary Individual Child One 2. Father 3. Mother Sibling One 1. Primary Individual Sibling Two 4. Paternal Grandfather _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The explanation wasn't clear to me until I "put" my family tree to a "test" I chose an ancestor and Ahnentafel format First listed the ancestor Next the name of his father Then the name of his mother. Then is listed all his brothers and sisters. Then it continued on to the first listed's grandparents, followed by the grandparent's children. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Basically it looks like it lists in opposite what we normally see folks post on this list; instead of starting with the oldest known ancestor, it starts with someone down the line and works back to the oldest known ancestor. Glad you ask the question.... I'd never really studied this format to "see" how it worked! --- William Doyle <[email protected]> wrote: > Ahnentafel is German and means "Ancestor Table". > > I seem to recall that there is a style of ancestor tabulation which > is called Ahnentafel also. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: diane and wes miller [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 12:59 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [KEIM] ahnentafel > > Can someone please explain this term for me? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

"Wasn't Solomon Keim, b:02 December 1804-d:16 August 1853, the father of your Daniel Keim b:7/30/1839? And Solomon, a son of Nicholas Keim and Veronica Stutzman? Correct???" This is correct. I was in a hurry and didn't go back far enough. Thanks, Cindy. Diane
