I am interested in receiving any information to fill in the blanks on any of the families listed above.We have tentatively attached Jacob to Johann Henrich (Henry) Merckle (Markell) circa 1730-1809 and his wife Margaret Eckers, then back to Johann's father, Heinrich Merckle (c. 1691-1760, immigrated to America around 1730 with several siblings and possibly his father, Johan Fredrick (Fredrik) Merckell (Merkel) born about 1669 in Germany.Only have minimal information at those levels.Would be interested in any further details.
