I would like to hear from anyone researching the FECHTER surname, especially the families who came from Oberroedern France. My grandfather, George (Georges) FECHTER was born in Oberroedern, France, Lower Rhine, 16 Apr 1841. After serving in the army he came to the US with his brother Louis. They settled in Buffalo, Erie Co, NY. George married and left NY for WA state and settled in Tacoma, Pierce Co WA. I would be willing to share information with anyone interested. e-mail address: masnor@socket.net.
