Aida: This man Karl Schacher is an other brickwall he is my 2g-grandfather married Anna Catherine Zickler , daughter of Mathias Zickler and Josefa Wammes in Haid July 11, 1804, I can't find any thing on him at all. Any suggestions. Jean in Fl
Schacher is a German name and Haid is close to Bavaria, so he might have come from there. The earliest Schacher name (the old German meaning is a forested isle within a meadow or swamp) stems from the Lake Constance area. One side of the Lake is Bavaria, the other Switzerland. So yes, he could have been from a Bavarian family. If you can find Anna Katarina Zickler's entry in the marriage register that would be the best bet to find info on her groom Karl Schacher. Weddings were usually in the brides' villages, so you may find an entry by the priest in the Haid church register listing both their parentages and location and then you have a lead document for Karl Schacher. This probably would be a task at the time when you hire a researcher in Pilsen. Make yourself a note of what you want the researcher to do for you. I would ask him to screen the Haid wedding register for her wedding from 1820 to 1830. He will certainly need the information you posted below! Everytime you ask someone to do research for you, give them the data you have and request the data you need, because one is based on the other.
