The Fiddlers in America

The first Fidler (Fiedler) in our family line to cross the Atlantic was Johann Gottfried Fidler (Fiedler). He was born in 1689 in the Palantine, Germany. He arrived in America (via England) in 1710. His family was one of the 33 families who rafted down the Susquehanna River, then up the Tupehocken Creek to settle in Berks County (Pa) in 1723. He died in 1749 and is buried at St. Daniel's Church, ("The Corner Church"), Robesonia, Pa. He married Anna Elisabeth Salomon. They had 8 children - 5 sons and 3 daughters.

Simply,
Victor
