Hi Beth,
I am one of many cousins in the Lookingbill family that you speak of. Growing up as a child my uncle Earl was convinced that our family name was Indian (he since changed his mind!). My father Francis worked for the dept. of agriculture located near the University of Md. College Park. My step-mother Jeanne worked for a professor that claimed the name Lookingbill came from Swiss origins. Briefly looking at different links on the web it looks to be ofSwiss/German origin although if I would ever find the time it really needs to be properly researched as to how the Lookingbill family that I come from links to perhaps Peter Lugenbiehl that arrived in Philadelphia on board the ship Brotherhood. I will be happy to give you any information that I have.
