Surnames: Kiesling, Held Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3BC.2ACE/1994 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on the Rudolph Kiesling family. They moved to Washington in 1890 from New Ulm, Minnesota. I understand that they founded a town very near Spokane and called it Kiesling. Rudolph married Auguste Held, sister of Albert Held of New Ulm, Minnesota.
