Interesting, I have a 1st cousin once removed, Harold Fischer who died earlier this year... I don't think your line is connected but I can't say for sure... My Fischer was born in Obersteinbach, Alsace in 1730 and had 7 children... We have traced the oldest boy who moved to Russia in 1800 and his family then came to the US in 1890's...
