Mary, I think you are right. I have read something similar to that. I can't remember the details either, but what it said was that there are basically 3 main Fisher lines - being the origin of the name. One is Irish and the plague has wiped most of those Fishers out and very few of them came to the US. The other line was a change in the spelling of the original name FISCHER - from Germany. Those two I think I am pretty accurate - this last explanation, I am not so sure about - but this was Fisher that was a change of the name Fissur or something like that from - I want to say Austria? It was a study that was done on the NAME and the 3 main origins of the name, if I recall. The purpose of the article was to explain that the name has three distinct origins that are completely unrelated. Maybe this will trigger more response.

Carol - I took a look at your Fisher line on your website. I don't see any hint of a match. A couple of the given names are the same, but with the wrong dates, and living in the wrong areas.

I decided to go in 2 new directions today. First I have started a mail group at yahoogroups. with Yahoo you can upload your own files. It works much like this Fisher list with rootsweb but we will have our own homepage for sharing files.to join go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fisherfamilies/ Second I opened a page at myfamily.com for all of us Fishers. It is not an email group but you can post files, messages, and upload your gedcoms. To join please email me for an invitation. Mary_K@centurytel.net If you have any questions just ask! Mary

Hi Carol, I checked your website, if there is a match it would be a parallel. But I doubt it as per my last two posts/responses my Fishers only go back to the early 1700s in the US. And even then they left the US for Canada circa 1800. About 1900 two brothers came to Michigan but changed their spelling to Fischer. I do not have my Fischers posted anywhere. There is a Fischer/Fisher book that does have my line. However, shortly after I contacted the author and exchanged info I contracted a virus from someone from one of my other lines and lost everything that hadn't been backed up. Foolishly all my recent acquisitions had not been backed up, including contact information for that author.

I just want to clarify this message I sent about 3 main Fisher lines because I have received a few messages about this off the list. I didn't mean to confuse or offend anyone. What I meant was that I read somewhere, probably over a year ago, that there are 3 main Fisher lines in the US. I don't necessarily believe this, it was just something I read and I would like to go back and read the information again. The information I read may have very well been that there are 3 main lines that have been researched and/or documented more than others. I really can't remember exactly what it was that is why I asked the list if anyone knew anymore about this. One of these lines is my own. My line goes back to Daniel Fisher (b abt 1759) and Sarah Hines, Margaret Kress or some other unknown woman depending on who you talk to. I think the other line was the Jacob Fisher line that has been discussed on the list recently and I can't remember what the 3rd one was.

Not at all Winnie, The entire purpose of any of us subscribing to a list is to make contact with unknown cousins. Although it is usually a good idea to reply to the list because your response may trigger a response from someone else. By replying directly to me no one else can see your response. I have two Catherine's. The first is one of Jacob Fisher's children: Catherine born November 22, 1781 in Pennsylvania(?). She was sister to my direct line Michael and I don't know whether she married. The second is daughter of Michael in my direct line and was probably named for her aunt. She was born September 09, 1820 in York (Toronto), Ontario, Canada. Died November 20, 1902 in Unknown. She probably was never married. My direct line moved from Pennsylvania to York about 1800. Not that they were Tories (they weren't) but they may have favored having a king and in the aftermath of the RW may have been treated unfairly or simply have moved to acquire land. I do not know whether Michael's parents or sibling moved there also. In any case only the first Catherine could have been born in Germany. Although I think all of the children of Jacob and Marie were born in Pennsylvania. That doesn't mean your Catherine couldn't have been sister to Jacob, you didn't give any years in your! info. Please always use dates, even if they are only guesses. Names are frequently duplicated, it is dates which tend to confirm or deny relationships. I do not have any Anna's, Mariah's, or Maria's. The closest I have is a Mary (Abt. 1870-1955) born in Colborne Twp., Huron Co., Ontario. As for how many major Fisher/Fischer lines I am sure there are more than two and likely more than four. I have yet to see any ancestor posted to the list that could be one of my mine.

If I have overstepped my bounds by emailing you direct, please forgive me and advise as to such. I have 2 Fishers that I am trying to find info on. One came from Germany to PA and the other was born in Pa. There names and who they were married to is all I know. Would you please send me some info on your Jacob Fisher line? I would like to see if I can connect. It seems that others have more info on Fishers but I have not been able to connect to any. My Catherine Fisher was born in Germany and came over from Germany to Pa with her husband Casper Hoover. Then I have Anna Mariah Fisher who is married to John Custer. John and Anna are my great grandparents. I also have some other Fisher names that not sure are in my line from a cousin's other line and we are tryingn to connect to see if there is any relationship to either of the Fisher women. Thank you in advance and please advise if you feel that I have over-stepped my boun! ds. Winnie

Rick, Please see my post of today "More William Fishers". I have some of the same names, but not the same dates as you do, so there probably is a connection, if we can figure it out. All of my Fishers are from NY state and Michigan, but it has been suggested that some of the Fishers migrated from PA to NY with the Palatine movement, with which I'm not familiar. Here is what I have: REBECCA FISHER B. 1811, Gorham, Ontario Co,NY d. 12 Sep 1887 Constantine, St. Joseph Co., Michigan m. Sep 1835 to Herman Harwood. Her parents were Christian Fisher and Jane Garrison. REBECCA FISHER b. 28 Jul 1826 Gorham, Ontario Co., NY d. unknown. Her parents were Christopher (Stoefel) Fisher and Abigail Buckland. JACOB FISHER b. 1749 Rhinebeck,Dutchess Co., NY d. unknown. His parents were Christian Fisher and Catharina Schneider. I have two Johann and four John Fishers, none born in 1837 or 1872. WARREN FISHER b. 7 Sep 1842 NY d. Mar 1915 probably in Michigan m. 1873 Sarah Lucina Lyons. He is the son of Henry Fisher and Mary Ann Fuller. I'll see what I can find out about the names of the folks who went from PA to NY. Let me know if any of this connects with your families.

I have listed my Fisher lines before, but so fare haven't had any good luck finding them. So I have put them along with associated Families on a web site. You can find it at http://www.geocities.com/sbeireis/ Thanks for all the help everyone has given me. SBeireis

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Fisher Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YVW.2ACEB/3881 Message Board Post: I feel as though I'm joining this particular conversation kind of late, but I have three more William Fishers. WILLIAM CHRISTIAN FISHER, b. 4 Oct. 1832 Gorham,Ontario Co., NY d. 4 Jul 1918 Rushville,Ontario Co., NY, m. ANNA CLARK abt. 7 Jan., 1837. His parents were Christian Fisher and Catherine Case. WILLIAM FISHER, b. abt. 1835 probably in NY state,d. unknown. Son of Christopher (Stoephel) Fisher and Rebecca Shepherd. WILLIAM FISHER b. 1844 in NY,d. unknown. Son of George Fisher and Nancy (unknown). Now I should admit that much of this information comes from Lyn Wilson, whose research I very much respect. She has suggested that this NY branch of the Fishers may have originated in PA and migrated to NY with the Palatines (please don't ask me to explain that...don't know). Some of the people in this line eventually migrated to Barry Co, Michigan around 1850. That's where I am from.

My William Henry Fischer was born in Toms River, NJ His parents were John Fischer and Susan Adams. Their children were: George R Fisher b.14 April 1854 Glassboro Gloucester NJ Emma M Fisher b. 18 March 1856 Bass River, Burlington Co. NJ Catherine A. Fisher b. 4 Aug 1857 Crowleyville Burlington Co. NJ Martha Florence Fisher b. 7 January 1860 Crowleyville Burlington Co. NJ John Watson Fisher b. 8 July, 1863 Crowleyville Burlington Co. NJ Hope Arena Fisher b. 18 September 1864 Crowleyville Burlington Co. NJ William Henry Fisher b. 30 Aug 1867 Bass River, Burlington Co. NJ David Oscar Fisher b. 4 April 1872 Toms River Ocean Co. NJ Joseph Fisher b. 24 July 1875 Toms River Ocean Co. NJ Any NJ Fischer/Fishers out there? Linda Fischer Rawles

Dennis, do you have a listing somewhere or would you be willing to look at my Fisher's on my website (http://www.geocities.com/junebird3/)? I am desperately trying to break down this brick wall.

I know that there was a William Fisher that immigrated into Indiana 12/18/1855. I looked into it because my line was in Indiana around that time. He was too old to be the person I was looking for but may yet be a relative. He was in Switzerland Co. This was, of course, later than the main ones.
