I am looking for anyone who is researching the Poehler family in Burlington, Des Moines Co, IA and Lawrence, Douglas Co, KS. This family came from Lippe-Detmold, Germany in the mid to later 1800's.

Hello:

He was one of my ancestors. My mother was Louise Longenecker, who was born in Lawrence. So was I, but I never really lived there. Frederick Poehler was her grandfather. My gandmother was Mathilda Smithmeyer, who as also born in Lawrence. They are all buried there. My father's family is Greek, so obviously a really diverse genealogoy chart. we were vry intersted in the Lippe-Detmolt connection. Oddly, I am a huge enthusiast of German genealogy. The family is also descended from the von Busse family - also Busse von Heerse, and/or von Busse-Schoenlau.

It is so nice to hear from you. A few years ago, I made a trip to Lawrence and Des Moines and many other locations. I took photos of all the tombstones I could find. I also did research at the courthouses with time alotted.

I would love to share our information if you are willing. If you contact me offline, I can share the information that I obtained with you. My email is megsgeneo@gmail.com
