    1. Re: [PALANCAS] Fasnacht/Acker
    2. My Ackers could be connected to the group from New Holland, but they seem to have more connections to the groups from Rapho/East Hempfield Twps. and from Chester/Montgomery Counties. I don't have much on the New Holland group. In the Lancaster County Miscellaneous Book 1763-1767, p. 217, dated 6 Jun 1766, the court appoints guardians over the estates of Margaret, John, Susannah, Peter, Philip & Leonard Acker, minor children of Leonard Acker, late of Lampeter Twp. deceased. Lancaster County Church Records - Vol. 3, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster Co., PA 1730-1799 includes the following information. p. 59 parents - Acker, Leonhard & Elizabeth; child - Jacob b. Feb 14,1759 ,bapt. Mar 18,1759; sponsors - Jacob Glasser & Catharina. p. 80 parents - Acker, Lenert & Elizabeth; child - Lenert, b. May 1, 1768, bapt. Jun 5, 1768; sponsors - Jacob Glaser & wife p. 96 parents - Fasenacht, Conrad & Cath.; Elizabet, b. Feb 7, 1775, bapt. Mar 5, 1775; sponsors - Elizabet Ackerin, widow Sorry, that's all I could find about Leonard in my notes. But I did some research on the New Holland group a couple generations later. I couldn't believe that Henry Acker (b. 3 Mar 1827), son of Jacob Acker of Earl Twp. was not my Henry Acker (b. 21 Mar 1827), son of Jacob Acker of East Hempfield & Rapho Twps. It was amazing -- two different Jacob Ackers with different families, each living in Lancaster County and each having a son, Henry, born in March of 1827! Good luck in your search! Salapano
