one of the Kaiser's sons had fallen in
love with a dairy maiden and, in short, been disowned by the family.
... I've had trouble locating genealogy information
on the two Kaiser Wilhelm's in Germany (all sources seem to focus on
heirs to the throne rather than the complete family genealogy.)

I know this page is old but my grandmother claims that she (therefore I am too) is a descendant of Kaiser Wilhelm. what research do you have that helped you link him to yourself? I cannot seem to find much to help support my grandmother's claim. her
mother's maiden name was Kyser (Kyser Capo was our family business) she said that when my family migrated to the US they changed the spelling of the name.
