Title edit
Note that the article should not be moved to "Merkel family." It's not an article about the Merkel family, but about the people who are in the family of the individual Angela Merkel. Merkel is her ex husband's name, so apart from him, they are not part of a "Merkel family." Individual-focused articles of this type are commonly titled in this way, e.g. Family of Donald Trump, Family of Barack Obama, as opposed to family-focused articles which are not centered around a single individual. --Tataral (talk) 12:32, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Heading of infobox edit
At present the heading of the infobox reads 'Merkel', so at first glance it appears it is about a family called Merkel when in fact none of the antecedents have that surname. Should this not be changed to Kasner, or left blank to avoid confusion? Crowsus (talk) 07:18, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Ulrich Merkel edit
Where does Ulrich Merkel's surname descend from? Does it descend from Alsace like Meghan Markle's? --95.24.60.75 (talk) 12:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
