Would you please look for members of the Brackall/Brechal family, a surname spelled differently each time it is found. Thank you very much. Margaret Margaret- Do you have a specific given name or names you are looking for? There is a Joachim Bra"uchle who arrived in Philadelphia on the Anderson on 27 Sept. 1752. There is also a Hans Jerg (this would be John George in English) BRECHLE who arrived on the ship Ann Galley Sept. 27, 1746. Both men were able to write their own names. Joan
