Thank you for the postings on the patents. Have you been able to track the family in Germany?
We are interested in when they immigrated and why they came to U. S. What is your relationship to the Kellings?

Re: Possiblity of Kelling shortened from Kellinghausen?

2005-03-29 22:57:52Z

Hmmm...sounds very familiar. My great-grandfather was Johannes (John) Kellinghausen. He was born in Osnabruck, Germany 19 May 1860 (he had 8 siblings); he married Wilhemina (Minnie) Windmann March 18, 1889 in Long Island City, NY. His father's name was Paul Anton Kellinghausen and his mother's name was Elsie Wolffe (Wolf?). I know John & Minnie Kellinghausen lived in Tilson, NY (upstate NY - owned a boarding house) in their later years.
Can you tell me anything else about your relatives?

Re: Possiblity of Kelling shortened from Kellinghausen?

2005-03-28 19:52:40Z

My grandmother's name was Johanna Geraldine Kellinghausen, married to Harry Frederick Paashaus Sr. Her descendents came from Solingen Germany and settled in Elizabeth, New Jersey before moving to upstate New York. I wonder if these relatives might be related?? I know little about my relatives beyond my grandparents but would share with you what I know.

Re: Peter Kelling

EMalinovsk — 2002-02-27 23:42:54Z

Dorothy, I have several pages of ancestral information about Peter, who married Anna C. Davis in 1915. My records show he was born in Meadville, PA in 1871. His father, John, immigrated to the U.S. from Prussia (now Germany) with his parents and six brothers and sisters in 1844. I am a descendant of John's brother, Joseph.

I see your message was written 2 years ago. If you'd still like ancestral information about Peter, I'll be happy to share what I have with you. Please send me an e-mail at EMalinovsk@cs.com.

Dear Beth,
Your sister Jennifer said that you may have some information on a Johann Gottlieb Kelling. He married a Justena H.L. Bredlow. They were from Germany, settled in WI (Monroe County) first and then moved on to Waseca County in MN. I know that they were married in Germany but have no idea exactly where they came from. My BREDLOWS are from Brandenburg Province. Are your Kellings from that area? Both Johann and Justena were born in 1830. They died in the 1920s, don't have my info in front of me right now. Is there a Johann Gottlieb Kelling in your paper work anywhere?

Hello! I am looking for information on a Jacob Kelling, born in 1880 in Chicago, IL. He married Charlotte Berwanger on July 11, 1906. He was my great grandfather, and passed away when my grandmother was nine. I hve no other info on him. Any info would be appreicated.

not in ours

2001-02-26 11:06:32Z

the only variation of Kelling in our history, of the Kellings of Milwaukee-from Germany is Kuelling. we have been traced back to Nueromberg, G. and from the swiss boarder. hope that helps a little. Maybe of the Kellings who don't have any kellinghams. Good Luck on your search. Beth Kelling

One of Only 3 at the MHS

2001-02-20 06:30:48Z

At the Milwaukee Hist Soc only 3 Kellings are listed from the late 1800's.
Johann, Ludwig, and August. Not sure how August fits in, but if any one would like to view the original documents I have copies of them.

interesting connection

2001-02-20 06:25:53Z

I had written previously about Henrique Kelling, the one who had fallen during a construction job. Walter G Kelling from the book "Men of Milwaukee," Henrique was his father. They had put together the company Kelling-Smith Inc. They mainly had specialized in wood working,sashes, cabinets, and such. Walter can be viewed in the "Men of Milwaukee" at the Milw Hist Soc.
Henrique's death was very unfortunate.

kelling nuts

2001-02-16 16:15:37Z

I remember that kelling nut company. I remember a truck parked near our home that said Kelling's nuts. My father said that it was not the same Kellings as us. Just brought back memories

2001-01-19 12:19:27Z

This has been a fun exploration. My sister, Jennifer, told me about this site.
If anyone would like to see the documents I have, Ludwig and Johann, just drop me an email address and I will send them to you. They take a lot of K's, but it is fun viewing original documents. I also have the Ludwig Kelling document xeroxed from the time I was at the Hist Soc.
I had also found a Kelling family from the east side of Milwaukee, appx 1st and Richards, who had also come from Germany in the late 1800's.
Their history was sort of sad tho. The daughter, Elsie, of Henrique and Dorthea Kelling had committed suicide in 1904. She lived just 18 years and had been working at the hide manufacture making leather products. Others of her family worked a farm in Theinsville. If you have access to archives of the Milwaukee Journal, you can find the story of her death in the March 6th or 7th news paper of 1904.
Henrique died appx 12 years later when fell off of a four story building, the sanitarium on Blue Mound road in Milw.
I guess this seems sort of morbid. but my prayers go out to this Kelling family of old.
The graves of this family are in the Union Cemetary on Tetonia and Burliegh ave in Milw.
Henrique and Dorthea have a pretty large light grey stone to mark their resting place.
God Bless that Kelling family and the unfortunate incidents that had occured.

My brother said that there is George Lewis in our family, I guess he was our grandfather,Erwins brother. Im not sure if it is the same George Lewis or not, because we are Wisc. Kellings. You never know. I dont have any answers if he ever lived in CA, or Canada though.

info on Johan

2001-01-19 05:43:58Z
