Dorene, I have been doing research on the Kaiser line as well. They too were Lutherans. My Great Grandfather Adolph Kaiser (1858-1917)(Father Friedrich Kaiser details unknown) was buried in Vine Street Hill Cemetary in Cincinnati, Ohio Wish I could get my Kaisers back as far as yours! You're doin' good! karen kayser -----Original Message----- From: Dorene L.
