Even though I am not a descendant of this Kerchner immigrant, I have researched this family group in my efforts
to learn of any possible inter-connections between the various Kerchner and Kirchner immigrants.

Note: Some dates shown are estimates. The below chart was generated using a computer program. In some cases the dates and events are estimates and so indicated with words like "circa", "about", "near", or "probably". Therefore do not quote data off this report as precise unless it is precisely listed. And if the data is very important to your line, you should independently verify it. Feel free to contact me.
