INDEX

Note To The Reader

It is necessary to point out that our name, Booker, was originally spelled Bucher, long “u” and “ch” = “k”. When first arriving in the Shenandoah Valley between 1732 and early 1735, our immigrant, Hans Ulrich Bucher and his children were mistakenly recorded in civil and religious records as Buger, Burger, Boger, Boucher, and “Poker”. The similarity of the “B” and “P” sound spoken by the early Bucher settlers was not differentiated enough, causing the civil authorities to record our name as “Poker” until about 1775. In the Frederick County Courthouse Will Index, under the name Bucher, you will find the statement, “also, see Poker, Boogher, and Boucher”. I have worked diligently to authenticate all documents in the Shenandoah region that pertain to our Bucher/Booker family. I sincerely hope that the reader finds this labor of love as interesting and exciting as I did during my six years of research.
