Tim....These census records APPEAR to be your family, but of course I can't be sure.You will need additional proof, but it looks like a very good possibility to me.

There is a WILL listed for "a" Gottlieb Koehler on the link below.Near the top of the page it says you can order a copy from a lady (e-mail address given).Perhaps the WILL would verify this is your family, if it contains the name William A. Koehler of North Dakota as one of his children.
