My husband's family was from Macon & Adair Counties, MO. His Ggrandfather, Christian F. [Koehler... according to the U.S. records], came to the U.S. in 1852 from Germanic Europe. We know nothing of Christian's siblings, nor do we yet know the Germanic spelling of his Koehler name. [Naturally, it could be KÖHLER.] Leslie (Bridges) Kohler
