My eldest Lesher was a Jakob Loëscher (umlaut over the "e") and he was from the Alsace area - and around the same time frame, but I have no details on him other than that. Good luck in your research and I hope our listers have some further help for you. Roy Lesher, list administrator, Camano Island, Washington.
