My Broker/ Broeker / Broecker's came from Glane, Kingdom of Hanover, Germany. The
Church records are still in tact and the cemetery has lots of BROKER's buried in it
plus baptismal records. When my son was station in Germany he went to Glane but was unble
to speak much German and did not get any data. The data I have was from a family menber
Cletis Broecker of Indianapolis, IN., whom is dec'd now. It came from the church in
Glane. This village is not far from Hanover and I am sure the name of Broker was carried
by a lot of people over there. I have not seen the names you mention in my genealogy but
it does not mean they were not kin. My Broker's came to America after the 1830's
and settled in Floyd Co., IN.. Most of my gg-grandfather's family moved here also and
lived in Floyd County. Now they are spread out all over. I will keep an eye out for the
names you posted and if I run across any of them will give you a holler.
