Preface:
I deliberated over the kind of data that I should present in this website. As the website for the village of Fischer, am I restricted to only post the ship lists, and the names of the passengers for the village of Fischer in this site? Or, might I post all of the data that I have at my disposal at the present, regardless of village, without upsetting the "purist". After much consideration, I have decided that, altho this site is based on Fischer history and village coordination, the families also consist of members from various other villages, as many of the villagers moved around. Our objective is to SHARE data. Since all of our ancestries intertwine, I decided not to cull out only certain persons from the data. To me, who came over- from what village - and on what ship- is important to our history. However, I do not believe it relevant how it is presented, - as long as it is presented! Roger Toepfer
