Exciting News: I have written a FREE huge e-book "One Y-DNA Family Tree: Beecher, Beacher, Beicher, Biecher, Bicher, Beechert, Beeker, Beher, Buecher, Bücher" about the descendants of my 1751 Pennsylvania immigrants, Johann Engel Bücher (Engel Bicher) and Johann Henrich Bücher (Henry Beecher). Eventually the book will be distributed FREE on Google Books, Amazon Books, libraries, FamilySearch.org, etc. But today I can send you a link to read it now if you email Jonathan Scott Beacher at SearchTrees@gmail.com. Be sure to let me know the name of your recent ancestor and I'll send additional info about your tree branch. The e-book has extensive DNA evidence not found on genealogy websites. It includes the report I commissioned from our professional genealogist in Germany.

About SearchTrees

SearchTrees.com is an archive of many different family trees that begin in colonial Pennsylvania prior to the Revolutionary War. These family trees descend in later generations into the midwest (Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois) and as far as California and we trace them down to about 1930 or so when possible.

This website is part of the Bucher/Beecher Y-DNA research project and contains thousands of ancestors with Bucher, Beecher, and alternate spellings of those surnames. Our Y-DNA project has identified many different families using surnames Bucher etc.

The info on this website was collected by Bruce Beacher Ph.d., his nephew Jonathan Beacher, and the many genealogists who have contributed info since we published Bruce’s research on the Internet. Sources are cited at bottom of most tree pages.

Locations given are in the counties/townships as they exist today, except for census listings which use the location that existed then.

All information is ©2025 SearchTrees.com and may be reproduced in your own personal family tree online or in reports if you provide a source citation to this website, but may not be reproduced on websites featuring advertising or subscription fees, in whole or part, without our permission. We prefer all info to be free!
