Rick and the list, There are two books on the Lichliter family that I have seen (but I don't know where you might find them). They might help solve your puzzle -- 'Lichliter and Variants' and 'Lichliter and Variants, Volume 2'. I am not sure which of the many spellings of the name they used in the title, but you should be able to locate it. I think the 2nd volume was published about 5 or 6 years ago and the first about 10 years ago, but I'm not sure. Good luck. Ellen
