I am also researching the following names, BAILEY, BAUMBACH, DOW, LUKAS, McMAHON, REISWIG, ROTTACKER and SPRAGUE

DESCENDANTS OF ADAM LUKAS & MARIA BRETZER

If anyone has any comments or input to the following, please e-mail me at the above address, quoting the RIN number after the name. I have been researching this line for several years and with the help of Trudy at the FHL in Salt Lake City have been able to compile this much. The records I have found so far are all written in German Gothic script, and are very hard for me to translate.

The information on the Rottacker, Rodacker, Rothacker line was taken from the book entitled "Descendants of Matthius Rottacker" compiled by Mildred (Miller) Reiswig, Goldie (Reimche) Fiesel, Alvina (Stolp) Rodacker, Betty (Rodacker) Melby and Marjorie (Toews) Reimche, and other Rothacker descendants about 1982. If anyone has more information on Rosina (Lukas) Rothacker I would really appreciate you contacting me.
