I've read your various postings with great intrest. I'm looking for information on my fraturnal Grandfather Jacob Amacher, born ?- died, 1945 in Waseka Il. I know that he was the youngist of many from a farm near Cullum, Il. which he left to join his brother in a dry goods business around 1900. He had brothers named David and John. Any connection information would be greatly appreciated. I was always told our ancestors came from Bern, Switzerland.
His father was Jacob and he married Magdalena Shantz in Waterloo, Ontario Ca before moving to Illinois. I believe his father was Ulrich from the Canton of Bern, Switzerland
