My great-great grandfather, Johannes Baptist Kinscherff, was the brother of Bernard and Michael.John and his wife Margaretha left Calhoun County around 1869 and settled in Jennings Co., IN.John and Margaret's son Benjamin Franklin Kinscherff moved to Pike Co., IN where he married Laura Belle Smith.Their daughter Margaret Elizabeth Kinscherff was my grandmother.

From information provided by Wanda Kinscherff (wife of Michael Kinscherff's great grandson) and work at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, I have traced the family back to 1725 in Birkenau-Weinheim, Bavaria and his children in Dudenhofen, Bavaria.Johnannes, Bernard, and Michael immigrated from Dudenhofen.I am actually going to get to go to Dudenhofen in 2 weeks!I have a business trip that will take me to 25 miles from Dudenhofen.

I have a picture of Johannes and Margaretha Kinscherff.I would love to exchange information and pictures with you.E-mail me at mnorton2@rr.satx.com
