I am researching this Kaercher, Kercher, Karcher line even though I am not a descendant of this Kercher immigrant because this family group spelled the surname similarly to the spelling of my immigrant family group. To date I have not found any link to my 1741 immigrant ancestor, Adam Kerchner, of Lehigh and Berks Co PA. If you have family links to this Kercher family please contact me. Thank you.
