I am searching for ancestors named Erlacher (probably Catholic) who immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, in about 1783-87. Does anybody have any idea about origins?

Pix of Volkach
I visited Volkach as a contractor for the US Gov't in 1988 and was glad to see the pictures that I never seemed to have the time to take. If you have anymore I'd love to see them. Thanks.

I was born in Bavaria, and long for the sights of "home", even after nearly 40 years have transpired. Thank you for the many beautiful sights . . . . I treasured them (wunderbar!).
