I'm following two brothers Heinrich b 1700 settled at Rockhill (then Bucks now Berks) and Philip Jacob b 1696 (my line) settled near Fogelsville (one of the founders of Ziegel Ch) later moved near Macungie (the water was better for farming). Both arrived aboard the "Loyal Judith" 25 Sept 1732. If you have one Acker or a bunch let's trade information. Earl Acker MacIain@prodigy.net >> I have a Lydia Schmidt, daughter of Adam Schmidt and Maria Gertrude Acker, in my family. Lydia was baptized at Ziegel Church in 1843. Lydia married Tilghman Seip. This is my only Acker connection. Anything sound familiar? Sheri Bsballmom@aol.com
