The Kuhlenschmidt Family in South America

On June 28, 1944 a Curt Wagner wrote to Walter Kuhlenschmidt of Germany
about his knowledge of Kuhlenschmidts in South America. A translated copy
of that letter follows:

"...end 1930 I have seen in LaPaz, Bolivia a man named Ernesto
Kuhlenschmidt. Later on middle 1931 I have seen him back in Tucaman,
Argentina. He was visiting family in Argentina, perhaps his sister. He was
at that time 38-42 years of age. As far as I know, a family named
Kuhlenschmidt should have lived in or around Esperanza, Humbold, Rafela, and
La Provincia de Santa Fe. I have heard the name Kuhlenschmidt many times
over there. Maybe El Banco Aleman in Buenos Aires, Republica Argentinia or
the same bank in La Paz, Bolivia can tell you more about this family."

A member of the Dutch Koelensmid family tried to contact possible
Kuhlenschmidt family members in Bolivia, but was not successful.
