Julie, Thanks for all the obits, what a lot of work! :~) I'm wondering about a Buccheit in my family file who must be related here. Mary M. Buccheit, b. 29 Sep 1838 in Alsace, France was married to James J. Mix b. 5 Sep 1833 in PA d. After 26 Mar 1909. Do you know how she fits into your Buccheit family? Would she be the daughter of Frank X. Buccheit b. 1783? So that I don't mix up the generations, could you provide a list of Frank X. Buccheit's (b. 1783) children?
