The
Buhler Family is a
research effort to chronicle the ancestors and descendants
of Peter Anton Buhler. In the year 1840 Peter Anton
emigrated from the small town of Altkrautheim in the Kingdom
of Württemberg (part of present-day Germany) to New Orleans,
Louisiana. Peter Anton accompanied his father, stepmother,
and siblings in this journey marking the beginning of Buhler
family history in the New World. Anton was chosen as the
focal point for this work because he left behind the
evidence that linked the immigrant family to the ancestral
home in Württemberg.
