Looking for cousins or descendants of Richard Kliegl (born May 13, 1919, New York - died March 17, 1991, Bellerose, New York) and his wife Mildred Claus (born August 26, 1919 - December 17, 2000, St. Francis Hospital, Flower Hill, New York).

Mildred Claus is the daughter of Fred Claus (born Feb. 28, 1895, Brooklyn, New York - died June 28, 1945) and Hazel Loretta Kennel (born June 6, 1895, New York City - died November 1984, Nassau Hosptial, Long Island, New York).

I believe I spotted the family of Richard Kliegl in the 1930 Queens County Census living at 212 Street in Queens Village.

1. Joseph Kliegl born about 1886 in Bavaria Germany and working as a Superintendent at an Electric Store. I am taking a guess here that this Electric Store is the former Kliegl Brothers.

2. Anna Kliegl, wife, born about 1887 in Bavaria Germany

3. Richard Kliegl, son, born about 1919 in New York

4. Anna Kliegl, daughter, born about 1921 in New York

5. Charles Kliegl, son, born about 1921 in New York

I believe Charles Kliegl (born Macrh 4, 1921 - died January 7, 2003 Ridge, New York) husband to Lorraine Kliegl (born November 17, 1923 - died April 30, 1985) is the brother of Richard Kliegl who in turn is husband of my distant cousin Mildred Claus who shares ancestry with me via the Kennel family.

If anyone sees any connections to the above Claus, Kennel and Kliegl family members, I look forward to hearing from you.
