My research started with the area called Haerten which consists of the five towns Wankheim, Maehringen, Immenhausen, Jettenburg and Kusterdingen where the administration is located. During a reorganization process in 1975, they have been combined to one town called Kusterdingen, which has been the largest of the five.
For these 5 towns I have recorded all Kemmlers as well as all emigrants as far as the information was available. You will find more
information in this respect on the Emigration page.
In the past years I have extended my Kemmler research to the cities nearby in the whole state of Baden-Wuerttemberg as well as the area around Bughaun and Rothenkirchen in Hessen. The overall list of Kemmler birth places in Germany can be accessed here. In a second file where I have split the cities by state.
