Welcome
to the new Keesling Genealogy Project by Tim Keesling. It has
been about 9 years since I have actually done anything with all the
data that I have. I have started a brand new family file and
even though it looks quite small right now, I have at least 10,000+
names to add to it. You can get started while the site is
being worked on by clicking here on my new data file. "Tim's Data".
I do regret to inform you that one of our family researchers
who has
contributed so many names to this data file, has passed away!
Keith Smith will be missed in our quest to gain more insight
on the Kissling/Keesling family. I will be adding his
information as I had on the original Keesling Genealogy website a few
years ago.
As
you search through this data file, please let me know of any mistakes
or data that should not be listed. I can make only certain
things private on people that are still living. I will not
make public any information that can't be found at a library or
elsewhere including online.
Please
Note...there are many varients of spelling for our family name.
Before the Kisling/Kissling family came to the "New World" they
spelled it "Kißling" which from my understanding is the Latin small
letter sharp "s". They say it sounds like a sz when
pronounced. I will have more information on the family name (By
Keith Smith) as soon as I can get it online. I have spelled the
name as Kisling in my new data file for the generations prior to the
"New World". I may eventually change this to reflect the true
spelling if my program will allow.
