Hi again, Jim,
You may want to look at the posting I just wrote about the Koglins in Marquardt Cemetery.Note that the two oldest Koglins were Albert and August.Between your information and mine, the oldest Koglins we know of in the Thumb area of Michigan were
Anna F. D.b. 1846
Clarab. 1851
Matildab. 1854
Albertb. 1856 and
Augustb. 1857
if all the dates are correct.They could even be from one family.
Also, my in-laws tell me that when they visited Germany in 1990, there were no Koglins whatsoever in the phonebooks of Berlin or Hamburg, which tells you how unusual the name is.They did run across a number of Koglins who lived in the small town of Ratzeburg, up in the north.Unfortunately no one could see any connection between any Koglins there and our Albert Koglin.
