Keller Branches

The family across time

Five centuries,
still branching.

A guided chronology from the earliest named generation to the private edge of the living family.

  1. 1496Buckenham, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom

    The earliest named generation

    Sit Knyvett Lord of Charlton is the earliest relative currently dated in the tree. From here, branches extend through German and British communities.

  2. 1660Jamestown, James, Virginia, United States

    Branches appear in colonial America

    By the later 1600s, connected branches appear across Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, and neighboring colonies.

  3. 1846Galveston · New Braunfels · Fredericksburg

    Texas becomes a meeting place

    Galveston and New Braunfels appear first, followed by Fredericksburg and a growing network of Hill Country and south-central Texas communities.

  4. 1885Pennsylvania · Bexar CO · Hays

    The two streams finally meet

    Until now the continental European and British branches have run side by side without touching. Between 1885 and 1896 they marry into each other 3 times — and 39 relatives descend from both.

  5. 1900Texas and beyond

    Families grow across a shared region

    Births, marriages, homes, and burials connect generations across San Antonio, Schulenburg, Luckenbach, and communities beyond Texas.
