Dear William:Thank you for trying to locate Michael Kneifl and the Duling connection for me.I have heard from Matthew Duling descendants. A granddaughter of Matthew Duling (and niece of Isabelle) very kindly supplied me with this information:Isabelle Katherine Duling was born March 2, 1885 in Sioux City, Iowa, the third child and first daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Duling after her brothers Albert John (1881-1963) and "Tony" (1883-1942).Isabelle was married in Sioux City in 1905 to Michael Kneifl, a widower.She died in childbirth, and the child with her, in 1906. Katherine sent me a picture of Isabelle at age 7, and included more information than what I have included here about the Dulings.I am not sure why Michael does not appear in the 1920 census, but there is a family story that he lived in Texas for a while.He died in my grandfather's home in Hartington, Nebraska, in 1926, so the 1930 census would be no help, either.Thank you again for your interest.Judy Schrader
