I am trying all sp variations to find this gal's family.....
does she sound familiar at all to anyone?
Can anyone go back to the early 1700s in Germany with this family spelling, looks like it did get changed a few times.
thanks for any assistance.
Jeakey, Mary Catharina, and William Smither, Burlington 1734 Aug. 5 New Jersey Marriages, Colonial Era, 1665-1800
I have also heard of it being sp other ways...
The Pennsylvania Dutch Society official index lists variations of the names as JACKEL, JACKLE, JAECKE, JAKEL [EL], JAKILL, JAKLE, JAKYLL, JECKEL, JEGEL, JEKEL, JEKYLL, also substituting the J for a Y too.
I do know she was German prob born there around 1711...trying to find her family and if you could help point me in some direction I would surely appreciate it, thank you.
I found an Andrew Jaecke arriving at the NY port on the ship IRENE on 22 June 1750 but no idea if hes related and can find nothing more on him. NS
