I only know that according to a profile done on his son, Samuel from OH, it read that "his parents were born in Chambersburg, PA, his mother died in OH 1833 and his father died in IA 1872" but cannot find him in IN,OH or IA, so if I can find him in Chambersburg than at least I have a birth date and a year.....right now I don't even have that....... I found your Samuel and Mary Cope marriage.....Nov 11, 1832 in Bindnagle Church of Lebanon Co. by Rev. Van-Hoff I requested a Book Lookup and that came back!!! Does that help you?

Hi! I had an army buddy named George Fisher. He was an Indian from Manitoulin Island In Georgian Bay Ontario, Canada. He and his brother bought a machine that manufactured the rubber hand-rails for escalators. Last I heard of him he was living in Toronto and quite wealthy. Cheers! Ginger

Hi! Your German FISHERs may actually have been Huguenot refugees. (?) Can anyone else expand on the Huguenot FISHERs? Cheers! Ginger

He was a brother to my gggrandfather. The entry in the Bible gives only his first name, birth date of 4/18/1827, and England. His parents would have been Robert H Fisher and Malley (Malvinia?) Fisher (may have been a Harker). Based upon the other births listed, I can tell the family moved to the US between 1829 and 1837(8). I've lost the trail for him after that.

James, I am interested in the DNA project. I will sponsor one of my nephews if the cost isn't prohibitive. Hopefully, this project will help us over those "brick walls". Mary Fisher

My husband has said that he would volunteer! His ggrandfather told his kids that he was an Irish immigrant, but research has proved otherwise. The current consensus is that his ancestors MAY HAVE BEEN German, so we don't know which way to go!
