Elizabeth - thank you very much, helpful as always. Mine are also from
one of Annette Burgert's books, "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from the
Northern Kraichgau", and are pasted below. Actually I don't see any
obvious connection between any of the three families. Mine as you see
were baptised Lutheran.

Anna Maria Kunigunda BISCHOFF 1718-1804, the youngest daughter, was my
5th greatgrandmother. She and Jacob FRANK became Moravian in
Philadelphia and the family remained so for several generations. We
know that one of her sisters (Anna Margaretha m Dietrich SALTZGEBER of
York Co) and one of her half-sisters (Maria Barbara, m Wilhelm ZIEGLER
of Lancaster) also came to America but I don't know about any of her
brothers; that is what I am trying to find out. Geographically it
looks unlikely that either of the families you mention would have been
closely related. None of mine came to North Carolina and I did not know
until now that David and Anna had, I lost them in Philadelphia (as I
tend to do with a lot of people ;-)). Anyway, thank you very much, mine
are pasted below in case anyone is interested.
