Bernd, the Timmerlah history man centre, with Mark, Gregg and Beno from the USA and Equador.
I was contacted some years back by a gentleman from Oregon who was researching his family´s ancestors in Timmerlah. The title of my blog lead him to me, and I did some research, checking the local and city registers of births, marriages and deaths.
We corresponded over the years, and in 2012 Mark´s sons stayed with me while they continued the search for clues about how the Buehrig (American spelling) family came to be living in the USA.

The lady sitting to the right in the photograph is related to Mark and Gregg through her Bührig grandmother, who was in turn, related the the Bührig Family member who travelled with his wife and child to the USA in 1890.

The WW1 war memorial in Timmerlah churchyard.
The memorial commemorates the Timmerlah soldiers who died in WW1, one of which was Hermann Bührig, a distant relative of Mark and Gregg, and the lady in the above photograph.
