Subj:      Karcher / Kaercher / Kercher Family Name

Keywords:  KARCHER KAERCHER KERCHER FAMILY NAME NAMES

     Many people have contacted me seeking information about the family 
name variously spelled:  KARCHER, KAERCHER, KERCHER, and other 
variations of that name spelled with the "ER" suffix, i.e., without a "NER" 
suffix on the end of the name.  While the names Kerchner and Kercher have 
similar Soundex codes they are completely different German family names. 
Reseachers seeking information on the Karcher, Kaercher, or Kercher name 
should contact one of the following descendants and researchers:
