Surnames: Fisher, Raunchen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YVW.2ACEB/3728.1 Message Board Post: There is another Fisher, Joel, and wife, Charlotte, who are also buried in Open Meadows, which we visited some years ago. It is suspected that the 3 were brothers or cousins who came from Pompey, NY, near Syracuse. Most of this research was done from LDS microfilm by Harvey D. "Don" Gilzean of Lompoc, CA. Joel was my g-g-g-g-grandfather. Several years ago someone turned up an old family bible for the Joel/Charlotte family, but there was no clue from where they came. Don suspects the Dedham, MA, area. My grandfather Joe Fisher, Sr., said that the Fishers were Dutch, but he was not serious about genealogy. I have found nothing in Dutch related sources about them. The 1890's Fisher genealogy by Phillip A. Fisher, available in some libraries, has a passing reference, but nothing definite, so where any of them came from is still a mystery. Several others have worked on this problem for over 10 years. Would also appreciate any additional info.
