From Troy Burkhart: Two Burkhart families in Berks and Lancaster Co areas. One Swiss Mennonite, one German Reformed. He said the Swiss Mennonite family were named Jacob, John and Jacob, came a little later. Actually, it looks as if there were two Reformed Burkhart families in Berks County; one from Herbrechtingen, Germany, and the other from Northern Alsace. A couple of people have suggested to me that Georg below was Georg of the Herbrechtingen family who was born to Andreas in 1703. I haven't so far found any evidence for this idea, and I haven't been able to get anything out of Sharon Martin, who the idea seems to trace back to, as she has been too busy traveling for the past six months. Another person who I only think said it has nothing specific to say about it at all, and a third person, who only told me what Sharon Martin said, doesn't want his name associated with it until it is proven or disproven! I was referred to and got ahold of copies of the two references on the Burkhart/ Burketts of Herbrechtingen, and neither provides any substantiation for the idea that Georg was of this family. Both books included copies of the German records on that family. It is of course not impossible. The names of this family are consistent with the naming pattern of that family. There is no clue when Georg was born, and also apparently there is no clue to the identity of his wife.
