Hi Mary, thank you for posting the details from the History of Allegheny County - they are very helpful. I am trying to trace the same family on behalf of my friend Joseph Buch, who now lives in Australia. He is the son of Augustus Joseph Buch (a doctor, who was known as Joseph John Buch) who was the son of Elmer Buch (who had a chain of shoe stores) who was the son of Ernest Buch and Philomena Snyder. I do hope you get this message - I realise your post was made in 2004!
