Guten Tag, At the genealogy library today, I *may* have had a bit of luck with my husband's Ggrandfather, Christian F. KOEHLER (b 22 Sept 1837 in Deutchland). While searching in the Wuerttemberg Emigration Index, I found Christian KOHLER b 1837 Deutchland. _IF_ this turns out to be the right man, Then I could safely say, "that he arrived in America in 1857". This may not be the same man, of couse, but I can hope!! While I had these books handy, I copied several pages of KOHLERs and KOEHLERs. So, if you need me to have a look-see for you, let me know.
