Hi to all! My name is also Zacher, I'm glad to see, how many Zachers are all over the world. I live in Hungary and I searched my family tree too, so I think I know where the Zachers in Hungary came from. My country in middle-east Europe from the 10th to the beginning of the 20th century was a lot bigger, like France today. That time there were many-many ethnic minorities, like my family in North-Hungary, in the Szepes (Spis, Zips) region (Upper-Hungary). They were German, they lived in Kesmarok, Poprad and the surrounding villages, like Gross Sclagendorf. Now this territory is a part os Slowakei. They were Lutheran, millers, smiths. They were settled in the 12th century from the Rheine an Mosel area (Germany) and they kept theire autonomy untill 1876. In the register of birth I found different variants of theire name: Zacher, Zachar, Sacher. In the present-day Hungary there are 2-3 different families with the name Zacher, all of theme came from this area, but this time a lot of Zachers live in Slovakei too, but most of theme were settled back to Germany after the first world war. If somebody is interested in this topic, I can give more informations, if I had it. Does anybody know peoples called Zacher, who came from Upper-Hungary?
