Hello, My gggg - George Acker, Ashton, WI came from Alsace-Lorraine to America around 1770's. The son named after the birth father or grandfather always carries the suffix first (I), second (II), etc..., OR Senior (SR) or Junior (Jr). Can any one tell me if the ACKER surname is Germanic or French origin? Is there a 'ACKER' coat of arms (crest)?
