I believe my siblings and I are related to you through your grandmother, Lizzie Brang, who was my mother Marian Leisman's Aunt. My mother was Martin and Rosa Liesman's youngest daughter.

In the event that you did not receive from anyone else, I have a copy of John Peter's headstone I can email you. He is buried in Hamburg, Freemont, Iowa, USA (right over the boarder from Nebraska).

Also, would it be possible for you to share the source for Margaret Leisman's exact date of death and that she is buried in Ferdinand as I have been to the library through the records and the Dubois County Records Library claims there is no documentation to support her burial place.

Thank you,
Your 2nd cousin,

Re: Margaret Klem - St.. Ferdinand Death Record, Dubois Co., IN

Elia7 — 2011-11-30 03:07:24Z

Update:
In order to obtain the source record for Margaretha Klemm's (Glemm's) death record, we had to work with the film of the original St. Ferdinand Church records at The Jasper Public Library to confirm Margaret's 20 Oct 1850 death.

We also learned that in German, the K and G were used interchangeably and thus the varied spelling of the Klemm and the Glemm surname.

Re: Morris Kelm from Ireland and Philad

fess64 — 2011-09-18 12:33:44Z

I have been researching morris kelm for a friend. Morris was married twice. His first wife was named Ellen and they had 5 children: Kate (1856) James P (1858) Charles (Mar 1861) John M (1863) and Morris Jr (1867). Ellen died in 1877. Morris's second wife was Margaret Coughlin. They had 2 stillborn babies. Morris died from Brights disease on Nov 6, 1902. Morris had at least 2 brothers, James (1823-aug 29 1897) and Francis (1824-jun 6 1914). Their parents were James and Unity Kelm. I believe they were from Donegal.

After I posted this I found out that August's fathers name is Edward 3 April 1863 and his mother was Justine. I can not see your family tree as I am not paying for ancestry. It became too expensive. Just a note: There is a postcard for sale on ebay "RP KELM STORE & POST OFFICE CHANHASSEN MINNESOTA 1910". It has some people standing out front. Maybe your relation???

I'm looking for information on my grandfather. His name was Alfred Gustav Kelm. He was born in Foxvalley in 1922 and he passed away in 2001.

He married Annie Klien. They had 4 boys named:

Myron m Carol
Shaerwin m Jan

They also adopted a daughter named LeAnne.

If you have any information on my grandfather and his parents and grandparents please let me know. I'm trying to build a family tree so that my own child and my nephew will have a family tree and they can see where they come from.

I found my first birth record for Andreas Kelm born 1801, and Christoph Kelm born 1804, my 3rd great-grandfather, in the Wladyslawow records. Plus three more children, all born in the small village of Borki which is a few kilometers NE of Dabie and about 3 kilometers from Grabow. The parents are Andreas Kelm and Anna Kristine Jesse but I do not know where they came from.

Re: Kelm from Poland

rkelm2 — 2011-04-03 17:25:22Z

I got my DNA results back from ancestory.com. The likely migration of my family is from Isreal and Lebanon to Iraq (Persia/Babylonia) to the mountains of Georgia (south of Russia). According to the report of a member with a DNA match close to that of my own (within 6 generations) in Canada, we went to Kiev, Ukraine. According to PGGF induction paper we continued to live in Russia. Based on the testimony of my PGF we ended up on the Poland German boarder. At the time this would likely have been know as the "Pale of Settlements" in the Russian Empire on the border of the Prussian Empire.

Hi Dan,
I am Russ Kelm. My grandfather John came from Penn and said that our family lived in Germany or Poland depending on how the war was going. His father Julius Kelm (or Kellum) as he spelled it said he was Russian on his induction papers. It appears that he did go to Germany but made it to Penn before dying in his 30's. If you this there may be a connection, I'd love to hear from you.

Re: Kelm from Poland

WolfMatz — 2010-04-13 09:08:43Z

A lot Germans lived in Poland before WW II. But I don't think that the name Kelm is a germanized form of Chelm. My "Deutsches Namenlexikon" (German Name Dictionary) of Hans Bahlow says for Kelm that it is a place name, but not that it comes from Chelm. It is also unlogical, because Chelm is a east polish town and it will not spoken like Kelm. So, I think the name Kelm is real german.

Sir,

This is probabally not of much help but my Grandfather (John Kelm) lived in (? Pittsburg)PA before moving to Detroit. Gramps always said that the family spoke German but was located in Germany OR Poland depending on how the War was going. I lived in W. Germany for four years and knew of only one Kelm. He was in Berlin. I find that there is a Chelm Poland and a Kelme Lithuania. Both with sizable/majority Jewish Population. I would be interested to hear if this is of ANY use to you or not.

My grandfather John (Jack) Kelm lived in Pennsylvania and moved to Detroit Michigan.....later to Holiday Florida. He told me that we were German but that we were in Poland or
Germany depending on how the War was going. I now find that there is a city called Kelme in Lithuania and one called Chelm in Poland. I would really like to know where my people are from.

I moved to Utah to go to school and have had the opportuinity to use the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. I have found a great deal of information using the following sources:

1. Katholische Kirche Wolfersweiler (Nohfelden), Kirchenbach, 1720-1870, Film #560481.

2. Rudi Jung(Main Author) and Rolf Freytag(Added Author), Familienbucher von Rudi Jung, Salt Lake City Family History Center, West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150, CD#242 - FHL INTL FamilySearch.

I know you can get the Films and CD's through your local LDS Church Family History Library. They have been very helpful to me. I know when we visited Raymond Leisman in Missouri we had not as of yet found it all. He was most hekpful in taking us around the local cemetaries and we took pictures of many of the tombstones.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think my Rosa and your Rosa are the same people.

But if I can help you in anyway, please let me know.

Also, I misinformed you of Augusta Kelm Wengler's married name -- it was Winkler.

Re: Ida Kelm - Rose Kelm - John Kelm

Sally2638 — 2009-05-20 04:00:48Z

It looks like your grandmother, Rosa, and Charlie's widow Rosa are different people.
My Kelm family were not Catholic.
Charlie Kelm, Willie Kelm and Julius Kelm were Jewish. Their father, August Kelm, was married to a Jewish woman, Christina Podick, who died about 1870. He raised his sons Jewish and his daughters Lutheran. Charlie came to America in about 1876 and the rest of the family arrived in October 1881.
Charlie married Ida Bruening in 1889 and died of consumtion in about 1895.The other two uncles never married. Willie died age 31, and Julius had health problems so that he never married, although he lived to be 81.
I am still trying to figure out if Charlie Kelm divorced Ida and married Rosa, who became his widow, or if Ida and Rosa are the same person.

Re: Ida Kelm - Rose Kelm - John Kelm

jeaniepettit — 2009-05-19 22:19:12Z

My Rosa Kelm was married to John Wengler on November 7, 1889 in Roseland, Adams County, Nebraska. The witnesses were John Goebel and Barbara Plein (do these names mean anything to you?)

Based on the date of birth for Rosa and John's daughter, Augusta Wengler, (08/03/1887), I am assuming that Augusta was not a blood-related daughter to John Wengler and that her real last name should have been Kelm.

Information is that Augusta was born in Germany, however, no town was provided.

Augusta died in 1819 due to influenza. I was told she was a nurse working in Omaha. By 1819, Augusta was married to a Schmidt.

Was your Grandmother Catholic? Perhaps we can obtain church records from the Omaha area.

Re: Ida Kelm - Rose Kelm - John Kelm

Sally2638 — 2009-05-18 03:40:39Z

I found Mrs. Rosa Kelm in the Omaha city directory on the web. Was your Rosa's middle name Ida or Eda? Rosa is shown in the city directory as Charlie's widow, but we have a copy of his marriage certificate to Eda Bruening. This is confusing.
"Charles Kelm of Omaha aged 27 years, born at Germany son of A. Kelm, his mother's maiden name was Christina Podick, and M. Eda Bruening of Omaha aged 24 years born at Germany daughter of Wm Bruening, her mother's maiden name was Wilhelmina Margraf." Married Feb 9, 1889.
The Omaha directory shows Charles Kelm living at 1708 Center Street in 1891. (I don't have a date of death for Charlie Kelm, but 1891 is the last time I find him.) In 1893 and 1894 Rose Kelm is living at that address - not Charles - and in 1895 and 1896 and 1897 she is shown as widow of Charles Kelm.
During this same time period, Mrs. Ida Kelm is living at 1540 S. 17th St. and working as a domestic at the Om club. This is very confusing.
My theory is that Ida/Eda worked at the Om club and had a room there but kept the home she had shared with her husband?????
Then in 1901 Ida married George Liebacht in Omaha.
It looks like these women were NOT your Rose, but maybe you have a clue. It is very confusing.
Charlie Kelm was my grandmother's oldest half brother.
I am not sure where my Kelm family came from, but one of my g-aunts was born in Schleswig, Holstein, Germany or Stettin, Germany. They arrived in the US in 1881. Charlie had come over about 5 years earlier.

Re: Ida Kelm - Rose Kelm - John Kelm

Found your message and wonder if you have any information about a Rosa Kelm. My great great grandmother Rosa Kelm married John Wengler and they lived in Assumption and Roseland Nebraska.

It is coincidental one daughter was named Augusta Wengler and she was supposedly in Omaha when she died of the flu in 1918.

What part of Germany is August and Louise Kelm from?

Re: Frederick Kelm and Katherine (Fehl) Kelm, Waukesha Co. WI

Augusta Kelm could potentially be my great-grandmother if her husband was Frank Guenther. Unfortunately, I have very little information on her. But please do feel free to reply.

Ida Kelm - Rose Kelm - John Kelm

Sally2638 — 2009-03-11 15:22:57Z

My great grandfather August Kelm arrived in New York from Germany in 1881 with his wife, Louise, daughters Amanda, Paulina, Augusta, and son Wilhelm. Son Charles had come over earlier. Son Julius followed in 1882.

City directory finds them in Omaha, Nebraska, during the 1890's. One of the sons must have been married to Ida Bruening, and another son married to Rose - or is that one person, Ida Rose?? Ida later married George Lieburthnecht. Charles and Willie died young.

John Kelm is boarding with August and Louisa in 1896 on Hugo Street in Omaha. Who is John?
