Could you tell me where these places are located? I have been researching the Kohler's also. I have a John Kohler, born 1840, who immigrated from Hamburg and landed in New York in 1874. He had sons, Christian J. Kohler and Heinrich Kohler, in the family. I was just curious because of the coincidence of the names. Could they possibly be related? Their place of birth was Baden, Germany, however, I have not been able to find what city or town in Baden they were from. Where did they settle in the U.S.? My family settled in Iowa. Thanks, Linda << I thought that maybe one of us could use the info in the response that I received from this nice person. ~Leslie ---------- > From: Susan Nielsen <susanielsen@rmci.net> > Hello Leslie, > I'm sorry, but there is only a Jakob and a Philippine Kohler (of any > spelling) in the Bauer book.
