Kanagy family.

Family charts for the Baer, Kenaga, and Reist families are found on the next four pages. They are designed to show the kinship ties of the major correspondents and of persons prominently referred to in the letters. They are based on the best evidence available, but are by no means complete.

Benjamin, David, Joseph, and Levi Baer called Benjamin Kenaga "cousin." It is not known who the common ancestor was, but it was probably in the generation of Benjamin's grandparents. The Kenaga and Reist families are connected by the 1854 marriage of Benjamin Kenaga and Fanny Reist. BAER FAMILY
