I’ve spent several hours today putting together a document that contains all my research on one of my 2xgreat-grandfathers. Carl Kahre.
He immigrated in 1854 with two daughters, arriving through New Orleans. He died in September 1872 in Knox County, Indiana. His civil records left no trace of where in Germany he was from or who his parents were. But, 2 church records, 1 for Carl and 1 for his daughter, pointed to the village of Schnathorst.
I currently have 9 pages walking through my research to my conclusion on his birth, his parents, and the name of his first wife.
And I’m not done! But I am mostly down to just adding or tweaking my citations.
Now I just have to decide if I want to try to turn it into an article for publication!
I would like any information that you have. I am a descendant of Heinrich “Henry” Kahre. His wife was Caroline, and his mother was Charlotte. There is suppose to be a Carl, or Karl in the family. I think he might have been a cousin. This family is one of the hardest to research, as they used the same names over and over. I had a gal from LDS working on it, and she gave up!! I will be glad to share with you what I do have on Henry’s family. Thank you!
Hi, I’m doing some research and believe Carl Kahre is my 3x great grandfather. Would be very interested to see any information you have on him. Thanks in advance! Hope you see this, please email me and reach out!
Hi Daniel,
I have a great grandfather named Carl. I also have documentation about the lineage going back to the very early 1700’s if you are interested.
Cheers,
Alan
I have documentation for both that traces back to the first Heinrich Hermann Kahre, there were two, born in Schnathorst Germany around 1700
