For those who have proved (or are in the process of proving) Jacob Brookover
(1739-) as an
their first American ancestor, Annette Burgert's book Brethern From
Gimbshiem In The Palatinate
To Ephrata And Bermudian in Pennsylvania is a marvelous resource. It can be
purchased from Willow
Bend Books, 65 E. Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157-5026 for only $12.00.
Their phone number is 1-800-876-6103. Below are a few facts on the
Bruckhoffer's from page 10:

From the Gimbshiem Reformed Kirchebook:
Joh. Michael Bruckhoffer married 20 October 1703, daughter of Valentine Muth
. They had a son:
Johannes, baptised 14 March 1717.

Bruckhoffer, citizen here, age
39 years, 2 months.

1738 Anna Catharina, daughter of Johann Philipp Oswald, Gemeinsmann here.
Children:
1. Johann Jacob b. 16 February 1739, baptised same day. Sponsor Johann
Jacob Kimmel, Citizen here.
[children: Johannes (bp 1740); Anna Christina died before the family came to
America]
[Children coming to America: Johann Jacob, Johann Conrad, Johannes (b. 1746)
and Johann Philipp]

There is information in the book on other families connected with the book.
I highly recommend it.
