Hi. Just stumbled on your message and two things attracted my attention. The names Jacob Braun and Elizabeth Luecke. I hava a GGrandfather named Jacob Braun who was married to an Elizabeth Luecke. It appears that Jacob was born in Becherbach, Pfalz, Bavaria in 1817 and Elizabeth in Mutterstadt, Pfalz, Bavaria in 1834. When they came to America they livrd in Manhatta, Four definite sons, Jacob, Heinsich, Johan and Georg (my grandfather) I see a possibility af another son (Charles) and maybe a daughter. This Jacob and Elizabeth are buried in the Lutheran Cemetery (now the "All Faiths Cemetery" in Queens. If there is a connection between our people please let me know.
Thanks, Doug
