Oehler/Ohler of Bristol, CT

My grandmother, Helena Oehler Wiegand, was of the "other" Oehler family in Bristol, CT. Until recently I had not seen any suggestion in the records that connected her father, Carl Edward Oehler, with "your" Louis Oehler family. However, recently Ancestry.com put on line records of US passport applications. Included was one for Albin Oehler of Bristol, CT [issued 30Jun1893]. It gave his birth as 21May1867 in Munchenbernsdorf, Germany. His is the same birthplace of "my" Carl Oehler as registered at the time of his 1872 marriage in nearby Ronnenburg. These towns are located in the eastern part of Germany near Gera, Thuringen. Looks like there could be a connection! Carl was born 19Feb1835 and was the first born child of Fredrich Christoph Oehler.
