My thanks to Ed Wevodau, Jim Ensinger, and Salapano, who responded to my query about the ancestors of Catharina Acker(1754-1831) , wife of Johan Conrad Fasnacht(1751-1809). They added some new info on the family of Leonard Acker of Earl, father of my Catharina. I appreciate receiving the church records, land records, and Orphan's Court proceedings. It seems, however, that there were several other Acker families nearby, including another Leonard Acker, late of Lampeter, deceased prior to 6/6/1766. I will need to proceed carefully in trying to find the parents of Leonard Acker of Earl. Bruce Fosnocht
