After several years of searching, we have managed to reestablish contact between the descendants of the two Bϋhler-Bosch brothers who came to Chile from Germany in the second half of the 19th century.
The eldest, Johann Georg (¨Jorge¨) (1854-1911), had ten children with Amalia Kowoll Rau in the Maullín region from 1880 onwards. Several of his descendants settled in Central Chile.
His younger brother Matthaeus (¨Mateo¨) Bühler Bosch (1864-1943), arrived in Chile in 1880 and after working in the brewing industry, bought and worked three farms around Osorno. His descendants have remained in southern Chile.
On November 5, 2023, thanks to a mutual contact in Seattle, USA, Paulina BL and Vicente MU met Enrique BM and his wife Margarita for breakfast, in Santiago, Chile.
On November 7, 2023, Vicente MU spent a day in Osorno, Chile meeting other family members. By comparing photos from the respective family albums, we were able to identify several characters and document the deep bonds of friendship between the Ugarte, Bühler, Lira and Ladrón de Guevara (¨Guevara¨) families and their storied adventures, which we had heard about so often from our elders.
We committed ourselves to collaborate in order to reconstruct our common family history. One goal is to, one day, visit the ancestral family areas in Southern Germany, together.

We are looking for her biological mother who lived in Bohemia, Austria and for the family or person that brought her to America of names Banowetz, Batowets, Rachenstein, all spellings unsure.
Marie Theresa Wilhemina sp? was born in June 1829 to a Bohemian mother. It is likely that her father was the French General Charles Denis Bourbaki (April 22, 1816-Sept 22, 1897) who was at the time 13 years old. She may have been raised in a French convent before emigrating to America.
On Aug 10, 1857 she married a 32 yr old new bohemian immigrant and musician, Franz Joseph Chadima, at Old St. Mary’s Church in Chicago, Illinois, whose records burned on the Chicago fire of 1871.
The couple lived in Saginaw County, Michigan where they operated a music band and a dance hall on the second floor of their home. After Franz returned from the US Civil war, he became a US citizen and filed for a military pension. They relocated to Cowlitz County in SW Washington State where he received a homestead near Kalama, WA.
Marie Theresa and Franz had three children: Frank Chadima, Isabelle Chadima and Blanche Rose Chadima. Any information about Marie Theresa,who died Jan 29, 1919 in Kalama, WA, will be much appreciated!
The earliest individuals named Molinos we have found in Spain are:
Pedro Molinos, Valladolid, España, ca 1500 author of legal treatise;
Miguel de Molinos (1628 Muniesa,Teruel-1695, Roma,Italia);
Lluis Molinos, Rector Parroquia Forcall, Forcall, Castellón, España, ca 1703.
If you wish to share reliable information about the above or other Molinos persons born before 1800, or about the origins of the Molinos last name, please contact us.
This research was suspended in 2004. Results can be seen in the Studies section of the public website under construction, here.
John Sullivan III’s grandmother, Angela Muir, was born in in California on1851 to the Scottish carpenter Alexander C. Muir (born ca. 1810). The family lived at 721 Filbert Street in San Francisco at least through 1870.
Angela Muir married Irish immigrant John Sullivan and used the name Angela Muir Sullivan. The couple lived in San Francisco. Our research indicates that four generations descended from Angela Muir Sullivan have stayed in or around the San Francisco Bay Area. It is likely that John Sullivan III (1902-1972) and Alexander Sullivan III (1938- ) are descendants, but this needs to be confirmed.
Our family history research of decades, indicates that it is quite likely that Angela Muir Sullivan was a half-sister of Pedro Ugarte Otero (1843-1914), my mother’s great grandfather and the son of a judge and mayor of Santiago, Chile, whose story can be seen in the link below.
This has been a key missing link in the story of our family. So, any information about Angela Muir Sullivan, and particularly about her biological mother, who may be Carmen Otero, born ca 1825 in Chile, will be greatly appreciated.
We realize that most people have little time or interest in ancient family history and will respect your privacy and time constraints. (Please contact vicentem@molinos.net)
