Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I dug up info on Tyler Buchner’s ethnicity. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but I eventually pieced it together.

First off, I started with the basics. I punched “Tyler Buchner” into Google and just scrolled through the usual sports sites, Notre Dame pages, and his social media. Nothing explicit about his ethnicity jumped out at me. Just football stats and highlights, you know?
Then, I thought, “Okay, maybe his last name will give me a clue.” Buchner sounds kinda German, right? So, I searched for the origin of the name “Buchner.” A bunch of genealogy sites popped up, and yeah, it’s definitely a German surname. Usually, it points back to someone who lived near a beech tree. Pretty cool, huh?
But that’s just a last name. Doesn’t tell the whole story. So, I started digging deeper. I tried variations of searches like “Tyler Buchner family,” “Tyler Buchner parents,” and “Tyler Buchner ancestry.” This is where things got a little more interesting.
I actually stumbled upon a couple of forum discussions where people were speculating about his background. Some folks were saying he had German heritage (makes sense with the last name), but others mentioned possible Polish roots. It was all just hearsay, though. Nothing solid.
The real breakthrough came when I found an old local news article about Tyler Buchner from when he was in high school. It mentioned that his family had been in the San Diego area for generations and that his great-grandparents had immigrated from Europe. It didn’t specify exactly where in Europe, but it added a little color.
So, I hit up those genealogy sites again, but this time I focused on searching public records in the San Diego area. Marriage certificates, census data – the whole shebang. It took a while, I won’t lie. There were a lot of Buchners in San Diego!
Eventually, I found a family tree that seemed to match up. It traced his paternal line back to German immigrants who arrived in the US in the late 1800s. And on his mother’s side, there was evidence of Polish ancestry! Bingo!
So, to sum it all up:

- Started with basic Google searches
- Looked into the origin of his last name (German)
- Searched for family history clues
- Found forum discussions, but took them with a grain of salt
- Scoured local news archives
- Dug through public records and genealogy databases
Turns out Tyler Buchner likely has both German and Polish heritage. Pretty cool, right? That’s how I pieced it all together. It was a bit of a grind, but hey, that’s what research is all about!
