I know very little about my family tree, but what I was told is that at some point the Bachers came from Germany. My Aunt Kathy did some research and found that a family with the surname Batcher were involved with the Nazi party. I was surprised to find your message about the Bacher family being Jewish. I live in the finger lakes region of upstate New York, and there are at least fifty other Bachers living in the immediate area. E-mail me with information, please.
