Following children belong to the family:
Magdalene Katharine Buchhorn, born in Estância Velha on 16 Mai 1848.
Elisabetha Buchhorn, born in Campo Bom on 10 Jun 1849.
Maria Barbara Buchhorn, born in Campo Bom on 15 Jan 1851.
Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Buchhorn, born in Porto Alegre on 24. September 1853. The father Wilhelm Ludwig Buchhorn is described as Tobacco manufacturer. Manoel Buchhorn, born in Camaquã on 28 March 1859
The first names of the son Johann Wilhelm Ludwig are interesting. It was tradition to give the son the names of the father and grandfather. The grandfather in Herne was called Johann. So it's probable that the family came from Herne.
Following information can be reported about Maria Barbara Buchhorn:
Maria (She is called Marcia in the marriage register) married a Geraldo Perez Da Silva on 12 Oct 1889. The marriage took place in São João Batista, Camaquã, Rio Grande Do Sul. Their son Augusto da Silva was born on 15 August 1893 and was baptised also at São João Batista, Camaquã on 26 November 1898.
Mr. Renato Franzen, Vice-President of the administration of the "Instituto Genealógico do Rio Grande do Sul" was a huge help in finding information about this family.
