The purpose of this site is to provide information on my Merkel families from Rochester, NY. I've descended from both Paternal & Maternal Merkel families so there are many of these people listed.

This research also led to other Merkel families from Rochester that have direct or indirect connections to my Merkels. You can find information on these other Merkel families here.

There are many other families listed on this site other than my Merkel families. I followed many of these branches because they connect to each other at some point in time. You will find information on these other surnames and families.
