Kistner Family Line

Hi! My name is Kimberly Kistner-Benton. I have been researching my Family line for about a year now. I wanted to have a webpage to share the information as it might help someone else who is also doing family research while possibly adding to my information. My family immigrated from Germany and settled in Ohio(McClure,Sandusky,Toledo)However,I have found connections in West Virgina as well. Surname's connected to the Kistner's are: Rudolph,Harris,Bretz,Kritzer,West,Seitz,Kagy, Creager,Bacome,West,Kuhl,Shonkwiler,Fisher and Mollencoff

If you feel that you may have found a "hit" with one or more of the Names, please e-mail me! I will share my information! I know how frustrating Genealogy Research can be at times!
