Does your wife have any brothers who could possibly be interested in participating, or your son any paternal male cousins? The project webpage is at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bricker/project_results.html Do a search on the page for "Jacob Christian Bricker". I have a chart showing descendants of Jacob Christian that I received from someone else, which indicates a tentative line of descent to Arthur L. Bricker, but I have a hunch that you may already have a copy. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
