My Leshers are an exception. My great-great grandmother was Catherine Lesher, who was born in Prussia in 1835. It may very well be that they changed the spelling from German or possible French, since there were a lot of French people in western Prussia, but they always used Lesher after coming to the U.S. Though we know all the dates for her and her two brothers, we have been unable to find any birth records to show us who their parents were. I have never found anyone who knows anything about them. Nancy C. On Wed, 21 Mar 2007 07:21:46 -0000 "[email protected]" <[email protected]> writes: > Message Board Post: > > Dear Vikki. Hope you get a good response through the board. I honestly think that all Leshers were from South Philly in some fashion. I know there must be exceptions, but I haven't run across many.............
