Note on Husband: Karol KUHLER
The Confirmation Certificate of Robert Karl Kuhler gives his parents names as Karol and Elizabeth. It says that Robert Kuhler was confirmed in the Lutheran church of St. Johannes in Lodz, in the village of Lasieczno on 25 Nov 1885. This is how a Polish native speaker would spell his place of birth. The actual record of his birth was found in the records of a parish in Nowosolna which was a village on the Eastern side of Lodz. According to this Robert Kuhler was born in Sasieczno on 25 Nov 1885.
In the Nowosolna birth record he appears under the name Karol Kieler, but the different spelling of his surname can easily be explained by translations/transcriptions between the various languages used in the area.
The biographical information relating to Karol Kieler from Polish sources is as follows:
Born in Kolonia Bukowiec 15/8/1847 to Marcin Kuhler. His birth was registered in the civil records of the Lutheran parish of Pabianice.
Married Elzbieta nee Egler in Pabianice on 6/8/1876

Son Friedrich born Bukowiec 20/1/1882
Daughter Katarine born Bukowiec 31/10/1883
Son Robert Karl born Sasieczno 25/11/1885
Son Ferdynand Christi born Andrzejow 28/11/1887
His first wife pre-deceased him and he married Matylda nee Kneifel in the Catholic parish of the Holy Cross in Lodz 8/5/1902. Matylda was aged 52 at the time of marriage.
In the years 1876 - 1877 (and possibly before that) Karol was a soldier in the Russian army. In the birth records of his later children his occupation is given simply as 'worker'.
