I share a searchable database of 32,000 ancestors on my website at https://SearchTrees.com

My surname, Beacher, is derived from an original Bücher and in researching it I founded the Beecher/Bucher Y-DNA project in 2003 at FamilyTreeDNA.com, which has now discovered 14 unique Bucher families in 1700's PA, plus learned that almost all Beecher, Biecher, Beicher, Bicher and Beacher ancestors in the 1700-1850 in PA are one family. One related branch went to Rowan County NC in late 1700s, Henry Beeker (1764-1837). I have written a 350 page e-book about the family, "One Y-DNA Family Tree: Beecher, Beacher, Beicher, Biecher, Bicher, Beechert, Beeker, Beher, Buecher, Bücher." Email me for a free copy.

The PA Beechers are not related to the New England Beecher lines (Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, etc.)

All my ancestors arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1700's and didn't leave PA until later in the 1900's, except one branch (Bury/Buri) arrived in Lehigh, PA in 1885 from Germany. In Pennsylvania my ancestors were primarily in Lancaster, Lebanon, Schuylkill, and Lehigh counties.
