Jan, Are you certain there are only two lines? Mine is German Pennsylvanian; Jacob Fisher (1743-1827) and Marie Schedecher (Unk-1829) who had ten children. I am descended from the last one, Michael Fisher who married Susanna Holly.

There are two prominent lines of Fishers who came to American in the 1700s. Wouldn't it be great if someone had an intermarriage that would tie both together?
