My mother tried to research her family tree from her father (Bernard J. Buechling) to very little success. She has since passed away for 11 years now. Recently I have been trying to research it myself. I haven't had much success since Buechling isn't a common name you find here in the U.S. Any help to put the Buechling family tree together would be of great help for me.

(Of course, George died in 1929.) I never met her, I was only 7 years of age when she left town for Staten Island. However, I have literally fallen in love with the woman, in my old age. As far as her death, in 1971, the local newspaper, Pocono Record, and the New York newspapers indicated cremation and "ashes scattered over the Atlantic, as per her request." I have written a 35 page life history of Clara with photos and made several presentations in the area, perpetuating her legacy. I am currently serving as President of Pocono and Jackson Townships Historical Society and Chairman of the History Committee of the Monre County Historical Association. "Long live Clara's legacy" Sincerely, Jim David,

I knew Clara and have been trying to find out more about her father, as her mother's line is connected with my mother. She was often a guest in our home, as she sponsored my parents from Germany in 1927. I have a number of gifts from her, including a carved eagle, given to her father by his choral group or symphony. What can you share about him? Death? Where? Origin in Germany? Thanks, Emy Greg, I tried your email address, and it came back.

Ihre Mutter kam durch Sinzheim, Baden, wie meine Mutter's Familie. Sie hat meine Eltern nach USA kommen lassen in 1927, und war öfters zum Besuch bei uns. Ich wusste sehr wenig von Walther, und wäre dankbar von der Familie mehr zu lernen. (Wo war er geboren? Seine Familie? Seine Musik? Sein Tod? Wann und wo?)Vielen Dank im voraus!

My mother was related to Ida Amalia Weiss, and Clara was always spoken of as a cousin. The relationship is not close, but as friends, they were quite close. Emy I am also a relative.

Is there anywhere one could look for more information about her? PS She also sounds like she broke a number of stereotypes about women and their roles by her traveling and promotion of the airships.
