I'd like to meet Christina Buchter Lieberherr (1844-1921) and learn about the events of her life. Where was she born? Was it somewhere in Bavaria, the Palatinate or Baden? She was the oldest daughter of George Buchter and Anna Barbara Lang Buchter. The family mysteriously showed up in Indianapolis around 1858, and I've yet to find them on any ship's passenger list.
Dear great-great-great grandmother Christina, where were you born?
Why did your parents leave the old country and come to America?
Why are you listed on an alien enemy registration in Indianapolis in 1918?
...additional names omitted...

Did your father George not naturalize before his death in 1879?
What was your life in Indianapolis like?
What happened to your husband Henry Lieberherr?
There are probably additional sad and difficult events to ask her about...her sons Henry W. (1868-1933) and George (1869-1904) had very troubled lives. Her daughter Katherine Lieberherr Davie (1870-1936) is my 2x great grandmother.
I have so many questions...
