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:

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.
