This site contains the GEDCOM export of the Kindel
family database, which dates to about 1800 and attempts to identify all the
descendants of Simon Kindel* and Ursula Lindner, my great3
grandparents. I have also expanded the database for easy browsing.
Simply point your browser to enter the List of
Surnames, the List of People, or to start at
the top with Simon Kiendl. There is also a
pair of downloadable Descendant charts in Portable Data Format for those who
prefer hard copies. Kiendl (Bavaria) starts
around 1600 in the “old country” through the first generation of our
immigration to the United States, Kindel (America) continues
the chart from there (with an overlap).
The emphasis of this effort is upon completeness and the rediscovery of
branches of the family with which we have lost touch. The names, dates,
and locations are not backed up with formal documentation. I am indebted
to Kathryn Brown, Curtis
Clay, Dan Kindel, Mary Margaret Kindel, and Celia
Said for the wealth of information they have provided for their respective
branches of the Kindel clan, and to Ancestry.com, whose resources have been
invaluable in our searches. I have also included a collection of scanned photos and documents for your perusal.

NB: The
information on this site is largely unverified. It should not be
relied upon for formal genealogical research. |
Families are dynamic. There are births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
These databases are always in need of updates, which is why this
page is dated. Please report any errors or omissions to myself or to the
other family genealogists mentioned above. Many thanks in advance to each
of you for your contributions.
I am also indebted to Dan Pidcock for his PERL script
getcomToHTML.pl and its accompanying gedcomToHTML.prefs, both of which are included
here, along with the g2h package,
of which they are part. I used them to create the Kindel Family Database,
which graces this part of the web site, and which is not dependent on any
particular Genealogical software. Due to shortcomings in this now-defunct
package, I now plan to replace it with a better tool to display the family
tree for your perusal.

* Simon's birth record spells his name Kienl; his
marriage record spells it Kiendl, which appears to be correct. The name was Americanized to Kindel.
