The only Broker/Broecker's I know are the ones who settled in Floyd County, IN or in
the Indiana area. That is not to say they are not related. I would like very much to help
you but I need dates and where they lived. My gg-grandfather Benjamin Broker/Broecker on
New Albany, IN. and brother to Conrad Broker/Broecker had a son William who married in New
Albany and moved with his wife to Evansville, IN.. William b Abt 1834 Germany md Julia
Schmeltz Nov 22, 1859 in New Albany, Floyd Co., IN..Owned property here but sold it and
moved to Evansville, IN.. Benjamin had two daughter's also. Mary was my
great-grandmother who md. Robert James Ralston Apr 12, 1864 in New Albany, IN.. If you are
related to Conrad I have all of his children and most of his descendants. Some still live
around here.
