My Family begins with Jacob Lerch, who changed the last name to Lark. I recently read on a board that Lerch means SkyLark in German. He married Mary Neiner. He came here in 1855 from either Switzerland or Germany. She also came in 1855 from Baden. They lived in Rochester, but I believe there are also ties to Crawford County PA. If anyone else shares this info please contact me.
Thank you
