Not many of us out there searching for this surname, worse yet my branch is a small twig.
Anyway, Would anyone have a connection to Albert William Kicherer (1854 to 1895) who married Anetta Reber. They had only two daughters which I can give info on. I'm really interested in his ancestory. His father Henry was supposedly born in Germany in 1823, don't know who he married. May have other children named John and Freda and the family lived in Jefferson Co Pa

I know this is an old message -- but...here goes.
I am a from the Hoffman line from Lykens valley Pa.
My great-great grandfather was Henry Bernhart Hoffman
1828-1893 married to Catherine Buffington Kissinger 1829-1900. His sister Catherine born 1833 was married to a John Kicher.His daughter Lillian Amanda Hoffman 1852-1936 was first married to a Emanuel(or A.J.) Kicher in 1873-divorced 1878. He died in Telluride Colorado in 1903.

They had 2 sons , my grandfather William Abbott Kicher 1875-1943 and John Frederic 1877-1877. He must have taken off for Colorado to mine. Lillians father made her take back the family name of Hoffman.Must have been a small scandal.

Anyway... it seems Kicher and Kicherer were interchangeable as names , perhaps some dropped the second "er"
Also a Bruce Gray sent me a message that the name is unusual -- He has never seen a Kicher/Kicherer that was not related.His 2G-GF was Frederick Henry Kicherer born in 1823
in Wertemberg,Germany. He had 3 boys/3 girls from his 1st marriage 2 girls from the second. He knows of 2 of the boys his G-GF Was John Frederick and Albert.The 3rd son was Frederick.
please reply Lisa

Thank you for replying to my message. Where is Lykens valley? Is it anywhere near Jefferson County, PA. Do you know anything more about John Kicher. Was he related to Emanuel /AJ? My grandmother said the name was originally Kicherer but shortened to Kicher after they came to America. I'm not sure if I'm connected to your Kichers or not, but I am definitely related to Bruce Gray. If you still have his email address, please let him know I would love to hear from him too.

Hi -- great -- this has always been a family mystery.
I am at work now -- but when i get home will send you the e-mail from Bruce. It is the first hit I have gotten.
Lykens Valley is near Gratz/Millersburg/Loyalton.
I went to the Hoffman reunion this past August.My cousins still live in and around there.Plus Philly and Pittsburgh.
My Hoffman side came in 1739, John Peter born 1709.
The reunion was at St.Peter's (Hoffman's Church).
Anyway -- I looked at Reber name as well -- I have a lot of Riegels too.
I got the John Kicher name from the family historian Annabelle Hoffman at the reunion.
I though my great grandfather was Immanuel.. the bible says
Emanuel -- but i also saw it as A.J.Kicher.
With the names William Abbot and John Frederic..the names could connect.My dads name was John Matternas Hoffman,brother William Henry and brother Donald Abbott
and sister Mary Catherine Hoffman Hanna. Thanks for replying... Lisa

All I know about Rachel is that she married a McPherson. Is this the same one?

Yes, I would appreciate that very much, I know very little about her. It seems like this is a pretty small family. At least Albert's is. He had only 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren, only 2 lived to adulthood and only one ever had children. Will be glad to send names if you need them. Thanks debbie

Surnames: Kicherer
I am descended from Maria Dorothea Kicherer, born in Wurtemburg, Germany, around December of 1800. Does any one have any information on this name? She came to Cumberland County, PA, in the late 1840's, with her husband, Johannes Jacob Schmohl.
