GARY W. CLISER - of California, a descendant of Mathias Kleiser, born 1765 in the Black Forest. Mathias moved to America in the 1780's and settled in Luray, Page County, Virginia.
Note: Mathias Kleiser of Luray, Virginia and Joseph Kleiser of Romney, Virginia were only 2 years apart in age and lived 30 miles apart back in the late 1790's. They could have been brother's or cousins.
KAREN KLEISER - GOOD - A descendant of Josef Kleiser, born 1753 in Schollach, he used to go to Norway to sell clocks. Josef Kleiser's line can be traced back to the 1590's to Markus Kleiser.

In 2005, I had received a letter from Harry Kleiser and Karen Kleiser - Good to see if I would be interested in participating in a DNA test between the three of us to see if we have a common ancestry. The results came back and our test (for 12 markers) came back as an exact match. There are other test's that can be taken for 25 or 37 markers or more, but it is more expensive, however, we three lines have a common anscestor that goes back at least seven to ten generations.
