So far here is what little I know: Most of the family Kanzler came from Russia, where they had lived amongst the Volga Germans, who were brought in by Tsarina Katherine the Great to "civilize" the steppe. I am not certain that my Paul Canzler is related to these people or not, however, he did socialize with a Jacob Kanzler, and I do know that he is a Volga German. So...? More research is required. The big challenge would be finding a ship list, as that would tell where he came from..... Do the surnames Merel or Klamt ring any bells?
