Peter Baehler & Marie Kunze
1814 or 1826 ▸ September 3. Peter Baehler born in Switzerland.
1823 ▸ February 23. Marie Kunze born in Baden, Germany.
1850 or 1844 ▸ Peter Baehler and Marie Kunze married in Canton Bern, Switzerland.
The Baehler (Bähler) families lived in municipalities in the administrative district of Thun in Canton Bern, Switzerland.
When searching through records online, one comes across many variations in spelling which are most probably the result of deciphering hand-written church and civil records from both Switzerland and from the United States.
The children of Peter Baehler and Marie Kunze were all born in Uebeschi, Canton Bern, Switzerland. The oldest children remained in Switzerland while the six younger children immigrated to America as young men.
Intent to Naturalize for four of the six: Gottfried, Rudolph, Jacob and John, all dated October, 1894, also shows port of arrival and month/year.
John arrived March 1892.
Gottfried & Rudolph arrived March 1893
Jacob arrived June 1893.
1902: October 8, Citizenship granted to Jacob and Gottfried. Date of arrival for Jacob is June 1893, as above. Date of arrival for Gottfried is March 1892, which matches the Passenger List below. I have to assume that there was some degree of inaccuracy in the system.
According to family information, Peter and Marie Baehler also immigrated to America; however, I have found no records to confirm this. Their youngest child, Adolph, born in 1875 in Switzerland, immigrated to America in 1892. That would seem to be the earliest one would expect his parents to immigrate. But there are no immigration or naturalization records and most importantly, no death records or burial information for Peter and Marie Baehler in America and no mention in any of their son’s obituaries.
