Peter Kehr (born 1817 in Pfeddersheim) emigrated about 1848 with his wife Dorothea Katharina Gorth and children Barbara, Peter, Anna Mary, Margrethe, Henry, George Ernest to New York City and later Lansing, Iowa.
Their descendants spread throughout northeast Iowa and much of the upper Midwest, California, and elsewhere.
This projects seeks to unite the scattered family branches, document the lives of these interesting people, and pursue research into their German ancestry.
