Hello! I am researching the Buker side of my family tree which ended up in Iowa. In my confirmed records, the spelling is BUKER, but I am finding many BUCHER references. (I'm not sure yet if they are the same.)
BUKER in Iowa is/was very rare, so it shouldn't be as hard to trace as it has been. The oldest confirmed relative of mine in Iowa is Elmer Buker, born May 28, 1871 (in Illinois), died July 7, 1901 (in Colorado); married to Maude Sophia Farnum on Sept. 19, 1893 (I think in Iowa). His father was possibly Julius Buker, born October 20, 1829 (in Oxford, Canada ?), and died July 26, 1878 (in Illinois ?), married to Urania Webster.
If you know of any BUKER who may fit into this scenario, please send me an e-mail.
