Researching: MULLNER, PUEHLER
Both my parents are from Waldthurn. They are both gone now. My mothers name was Mullner and I have visited her family several times. My father is also from Waldthurn (from the Gruebmill) just outside the town. I'm interested in finding out where all the Puehlers went and if some of them came to the US. As far as I know my parents were the only ones that came over. I have visited my fathers house and only one cousin remains there. He does not know if any of our relatives (Puehlers) have traveled to the US. I have found several Puehlers in Ohio, about a dozen or so here and there. Waldthurn does not sound familier to them. Just wanted to know if I have any relations here.
