Hi,

I am a direct descendent of Georg Peter Rücker and Ursula Agnes Maria through their son Johann Jakob Rücker. Georg and Ursula are my sixth great grandparents. Are we related?

Wow! This is amazing. So yes, we are related. Georg and Ursula are also my sixth great grandparents through son Johann Georg Rücker. So I think that makes us 6th cousins! I've had some 4th and 5th cousins contact me before, but I think you are the first 6th cousin.

Do you have more information on this family? My information came though another relative who had hired a researcher in Germany to research her family tree. I have not been able to verify any of the research.

Would you be interested in an exchange of family information?

I also hired a genealogist in Germany, and while I don't have copies of the records I think it's pretty accurate. Unfortunately the furthest back I have is on Georg Peter Rieker (spelled that way on the church birth record, although the sons were Rücker). But, I have everything forward in my direction. I can probably send a gedcom file or some sort of report. Let me know. It may be a few days as I live a busy life! Those Rucker descendents on my side all settled in WI when they came to the states, but I am in Grass Valley, CA with my husband and 3 kids. Am currently in Grad school through Texas A&M, an online program.

I would love the information on Johann Georg in your direction. I also have Richters and Winklers in my tree. We may have other overlapping relatives.

Thanks for getting back to me,
