My grandfather was Anthony Charles Zacher, born to Rosie Gotlieb (Sell?) and Anton Zachs in 1886. Names changed often in those days but this is the information I received from my grandfather's marriage document in Boston MA. My grandfather had brothers, Rudolph, John and Frederick. No one is alive today, obviously. They were sent to work on farms in Pennsylvania, as young boys. At some point, Rosie actually went back to Germany in the early 1900's, then returned to PA where I do believe she died. When she returned on the ship in 1905 she was listed as a "widow" but I have my suspicions that Anton may have just left them. I cannot find his death records thus far. Or perhaps, he went back to Germany at another time?? The may have originally come from Prussia. I did find an "Anton" from Prussia who had married a Beute Langer and they had children, Anton, Maria, Rosalia, Joseph, Anna and Albert. I am not certain these are relatives though. My grandfather lived to his mid nineties, having married four times. He had four children, Evelyn, Rosina, Warren and Charles. Charles was my father. My Aunt Ev is 101, Rose just passed away at age 99, Warren died in his 80'sseveral years ago in Florida and my father died in the 1970's. I enjoy tracing back but have a busy job currently so I don't get to do much research. The archives in Boston are a very helpful resource. One thing that I do know is that the "Zacher" genes are excellent, producing resilient hearty stock, stubborn and very "german" at times.
