Hi, I'm looking for any information on Koehlers in Louisiana, specificly New Orleans Parish. My Grandfather was born there on January 30, 1879 and died in San Diego CA. on April 23, 1947. His name was Bernard Joseph Koehler, but I think he went by Ben. His parents were married in New Orleans on April 24, 1874, and their names were Phillippe and Leontine (Veirses) Koehler. I understand that Leontine died young and that the children were farmed out to other members of the family. Their other children were all girls and their names were Katherine, Loretta and Mary. Phillipe's parents' names were Jacob and Catherine Keehler (as spelled on Phillippes marriage certificate) Koehler. I would love to hear from anyone with knowledge of these Koehlers or Veirses. I never knew there were so many Koehlers out there. This is wonderful!! Thanks for any and all help. Kathleen Moore
