*I have not been able to confirm an Ed Kohls with a relationship to my family and he was not listed among the passengers of the immigrant ship.  However, I’ve been told by two different family members about the following:

  • Alma’s Brother Ed Kohls married Anne and they had a son Arthur.
  • Son Arthur Kohls married Irene and they had a son Robert Kohls. 
  • Do not know who Robert married, but they had two children, Mark and Paula Kohls. 
  • Quite by coincidence, I met Paula, who was a classmate of mine while attending Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin.
  • Edmund and William Kohls added their names as witnesses to Alma and Ferd’s Marriage Registration.

 

A Fredericke Kohls is described in an obituary and additional information by the Milwaukee County Online Genealogy and Family History website at http://www.linkstothepast.com/milwaukee/dallmann.php.  Due to the similarity in name the close time frame, might  Fredericke Kohls be a sister to August Kohls father, Friedrich Kohls?
