I am searching for the parents of Peter Amacher. He was from
Canton Bern in Switzerland. Born 10-8-1858,died 1916 in Tennessee. He was my great grandfather. Emigrated to USA about 1881. Went first to Collinsville, Illinois area and then moved to Lewis County Tennessee about 1896 to settle in Swiss Colony of New Switzerland. Any help would be appreciated

Peter was my great grandfather too. Unfortunately, I never knew much about him or Barbara. I don't remember a lot about my grandmother (their daughter Lena Amacher Brown). Would love to learn about them.

My grandmother was Maggie Amacher Grimes. She was the oldest child in the family. I have found much information since I sent the original post. Peter's father was named John or Johannes and his mother was Margaretha
Schild. Would like to learn more about your family line.

My grandmother was Peter and Barbara's daughter Lena. She married Edward Lee Brown and had 4 children - Claude Douglas or C.D., Lee, Larry (my father) and Barbara. They lived in Clarksville, Tn and grandma passed away in 1996. She is buried in the Swiss cemetary in Hohenwald. I am very interested in my ancestry, i would love to hear what you have.
