Does your research extend back into the middle third of the 1700s? My ancestor, Jh. Georg Harter, married Eva Bracker in Lehigh County, PA, in 1752. Her father is listed as Christian Bracker, but there seems to be no record of a man of that name living in or near Lehigh County. I believe Georg Harter arrived Philladelphia in Sept 1749. I am wondering whether perhaps he knew Eva in Germany and once he was established here he sent for her to come. I could not find her on any ship list, but that is not unusual. She may have been accompanied by a ("non-Bracker")male relative.
