Hi, I am researching my Kuhl ancestors. My great grandfather was Peter Kuhl, who came out to Australia in 1873. He boarded a ship, the Cesarewitch, in San Francisco and sailed to Melbourne. He changed his surname to Cool in 1879 when he married. His death certificate lists his parents as Heinrich Kuhl and Sophia Kreutzer. I have found a reference to them in the archives at Bonn. They emigrated to America in 1853. They had two children at that time, Margaretha Kuhl, aged 3, and Peter, aged 1. This ties in with the age of my great grandfather Peter, who was born in 1852. Peter Kuhl stated on the birth certificate of his first child that he was born in Detroit, but the records from Bonn indicate otherwise. The family may have lived there when he was a child. I have not been able to find any trace of the family in US records. Any help would be much appreciated. Bruce Cool Canberra Australia
