Surnames: Bucher Beecher Becker Becher Booker Booher Bougher Bicher
As of Feb 2006, 32 males have joined our DNA Research project, which focuses on any B260 Soundex Surname including Bucher, Beecher, Becker, Becher, Bicher, Booher, Bougher, and many more (full list on our website). Often one of these surnames morphs into another in later generations.

For the Beecher surname the test proves if you are from the English Beecher line (Harriet Beeche Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher derived from 1635 immigrant John Beecher (1594-1637)) or Germanic Beechers who were orignally Büchers from Switzerland/Germany. Beckers/Bechers also learn if they are German or English Beckers/Bechers.

Buchers, Boohers etc. can learn which 1700's immigrant you are related to as we have already DNA tested descendants of:

Rev. John Conrad Bucher (1730-1780)
Johannes Bucher/Baker (1775-1834)
Hans Ulrich Bucher/Booker (1686-1750)
Johannes Bucher/Beecher (1759-1819)
Benjamin Bucher (1780-1839)
Bartholomew Bucher/Booher (1717-1792)
Peter Bucher/Beecher (1790-?)
Henry Bucher (1778-1860)
Adam Bucher (1761-1847)
Engel Bucher (?-1778)
Nicholas Bucher (1808-1873)
Baltes Bucher (1720-?)
Henry Bucher/Bicher (1828-?)
Nicholas Bucher (1670-1765)
John Booher (1788-1861)
Isaac Bucher/Bicher (1827-1855)
Samuel Bucher (1808-1866)
Peter Bucher (1755-1807)
Johannes Bucher/Beecher (1757-1842)
Martin Bucher/Booher (?-1824)
and others

We are using Family Tree DNA for our testing where we are group Bucher/Beecher. Details are at http://www.SiteServers.net/family/BucherDNA.htm

Our group of researchers offers FREE Y-DNA testing if you descend from a particular Bucher, Beecher, Becker etc. line that we are researching or need to complete our collection of of all known immigrants. We'll pay your testing costs (your results are of course still under your control, not ours, but you will share who relate to.) Just email me with the name of your earliest known ancestor, dates, place to see if you qualify.

Are you still doing this project? My brother has already undergone the Ancestry.com DNA testing. We believe we are descended from Hans Ulrich Bucher.
