    1. Acker Family History
    2. MacIain
    3. Hi: I'm working on the Acker family history. I have two brothers arriving in Phila on 25 Sept 1732. Heinrich (b1700) and Phillip Jacob Acker (b1692) They were of Sparsbach(?)(near Strassbourg),Germany (France) Alsase Lorraine- Heinrich father of abt 13 children went to Bucks Co (around Harleysville) near Hilltown (one of the founders of Kellers Luth Ch abt 1752 and Phillip father of abt 11) ended up in Northumberland Now Lehigh Near Foglesville. He was one of the founding fathers of the Ziegel Ch. Later moved to Macungie where the water was better for farming there. I have a fair bit of information of Phillip Jacob and his children but have many holes when it comes to the childrens children, and have very little on Heinrich. I have been to Ziegel's Church and obtained lots of info from their records and cemetery. I have not gotten to Kellers Church. The core of the Phillip Acker family has been in the Lehigh,Northampton,Berks Co's ever since. Is anyone else working on these lines? Sure would like to hear from you.
