Christian and Johann Gottfried Oehler and Families landed at Port Galveston on or about January 10,1854 (see other Sheet for Passenger list which gives you January 3 1854 as one landing date of the ship Wesser) This information was obtained he says, from the district Clerks Office ( I presume in Fredericksburg).

Father and Mother of Christian and Gottfried Oehler were Johannes and Maria Barbara Wolffle Oehler of Keebronn in the Kingdom of Württemberg, Germany.

Johannes Oehler was born July 4, 1784 and died March 25,1852. Maria B.W. Oehler was born July 12,1784 and died December 13,1868.

Paul Oehler Papa's brother was born in Germany in 1850 and died on the way from Galveston to San Antonio and was buried in the Dorm Cemetery. This Cemetery may be near the communities of Bulverde or Dorn near San Antonio.

David Oehler, Papa's brother was born in Galveston and died in San Antonio, Burial place unknown but probably in San Antonio.

Grandma Oehler, who Mama listed as Fredricka Bahmer Oehler, is Listed in the District Clerk's Records as " Frida Rica Balmer" Milton says " They could have made a mistake in spelling since no Germans were in office at that time"
