The History of the Kerler House
Kerler Family Genealogy

Even with all of the resources available today, genealogical information found online is scattered and often innacurate. Kerler descendants Bill Gutknecht and Frank Baldwin helped fill in many of the blanks, but some information remains unknown. As you will soon come to understand, this research was fundamental in assembling the history of the Kerler House.

Out of respect for the privacy of living persons, John Kerler's descendants past the 4th generation have not been published.
