George Henry Buhler (1888-1962), the grandson of Peter Anton Buhler, married Florence Lusignan in 1919. The apparent immigrant ancestor of the Lusignan family is Etienne Lusignan. Etienne, a native of Bergerac, Dept. of Dordogne in France, married Modeste Clairteau on Sep 14, 1829. (Archdiocese of New Orleans, Sacramental Records, Volume 18, 1828-1829, page 257)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1830 census, Etienne is enumerated in Orleans Parish. In 1840 he is counted in Lafourche Parish. The Lusignan family left behind a legacy in Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. Church <\/a>and courthouse <\/a>records from Lafourche Parish help place the Lusignans into family charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
