Seeking parents and descendents of Elizabeth Gechter, said to be born Dec 1782.
She married in Berks County PA, one Johannes Babb of Exeter township, Berks, PA.
I believe she must have had at leaast one sister and a brother. Wedding announcements were pub. in the Reading Adler for two others of this surname.

I fiind no others with this surname in/nea Berks County PA before about 1800. Does someone find a connection to this one?

Thanks from Liz J

My Madien name is Gechter and I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. My father is Robert who is the son of William and Nora who were born in the early 1900's. My Grandfather William's parents were William and Sophie going back to early to mid 1800's. My father believe's that there were relatives of ours around Wilkes Barre, PA. Not sure if this helps or not.

Thank you Janine.

Your post gives me another lead or place to look. Sophie fits into the family as a given name.

If you want to exchange more info, please write back.
Thanks again

HI. I am trying to find a Maria/Mary Babb born 1812 (altho some say 1807) who married a Jacob Hess in Berks Co. Penn. I cannot for the life of me find her parents. Jacob and Maria married 1828 at Christ's Lutheran Church, Spangsville, Oley Township, Berks County, Penn. i just wonder if you had seen her name . Thanks.

I don't know! Don't think she is in the same family as the one I was working on, but the location is about the same.

If you haven't checked USGenweb archives -- Berks County wills abstracts, for a BABB will mentioning daughter Mary Hess, or son-in-law Jacob Hess, maybe that would help.
