    1. [A-L] Karcher from Wolfskirchen
    2. Annette Burgert's book, Eighteenth Century Immigrants from The Northern Alsace lists information about Johann Georg KARCHER from the Wolfskirchen Lutheran KB: Joh. Theobald KARCHER, tanner of Wolfskirchen, and wife Anna Magdalena nee LUDMANN had children: Anna Barbara born 13 Apr. 1731 Johann Georg born 31 May 1744 Records of the Notary Public for Wolfskirchen: Date 10 Dec. 1768: "the son Johann Georg has moved to America in 1767; the daughter Anna Barbara, married, moved to America 16 years ago." Actually Johann Georg KARCHER came to America on board the Betsy in 1768 (where he is misindexed in Strassburger and Hinke's PA German Pioneers as Georg KACHER) and he settled in Rockland Township, Berks County, PA, where he married Anna Elizabeth (probably nee FOLCK). I learned this from the fact that Georg was the exec. of the estate of his mother-in-law, Elizabeth FOLCK. Assuming that she had not been widowed and remarried -- that would indicate Anna Elizabeth's maiden name would be FOLCK. I assume that Georg's sister Anna Barbara married prior to coming to America in 1752 as it would have been unlikely for a young woman to have immigrated alone at age 21 plus the wording in the Notary Public's record seems to indicate she married and then immigrated to America. I've been unable to locate a marriage record for Anna Barbara KARCHER and would really like to learn her married name. Does anyone have information on Anna Barbara or her marriage?
