My Paternal Merkel line is nearly complete and the lineage traced back to the late 1600's with Joseph Merkel from Iffezheim, Germany. Jacob Merkel was my great Grand father who left Iffezheim and came to Rochester in 1867. Jacob had 11 children in Rochester to continue the Merkel ancestry.
Jacob's brother, Anton, arrived in Rochester in 1882. His wife was Magdalena Weber. The Weber's are also from Iffezheim, Germany. I've followed the Weber's back to the 1700's in Iffezheim, Germany and continue to look for any Weber families in Rochester who may be related to them.
and their children:
Jacob Merkel is my Great Grandfather who came to Rochester in 1867 and kept the Merkel
line going. He had 11 children. Only 3 of his children had descendants.
