So you should search also for "Biehler" or even "Bieler". If the name is of Southern origin - and to me it sounds South-Western - you should also consider to look for "Bühler" (with u umlaut), which in many dialects would be pronounced the same. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Rüdiger. ** Rüdiger Bub <BubR@usa.net>, researching surnames BUB, LEIDREITER ** fritzbub@aol.com (FritzBub)
