I understand you had a good amount of information about the Kirchners from Templeton. Your original question that I responded to was the relationship of Frederick Kirschten of Belmont, who had appeared in your grandfather's journal. Frederick Kirschten and your Grandfather William H Kirchner would have been first cousins. Your grandfather's mother Louisa (Kirschten) Kirchner was the sister of Frederick's father Gustavus Kirschten. Frederick also had a sister Ida, or Fannie. It does not seem that either ever married. There were also other siblings that died in childhood. There are more records available at familysearch.org. I tried to just include the major connecting points. Good luck!!
