There is a lot of information on the Ackers there such as:
"ACKER","James Nathaniel","B","1863-07-06","chr. 1863-08-02","LL","Jacob & Sarah Eliz",,
"ACKER","James Nathaniel","M","1888 Bef",,,"Eunice Adele Koch",,
"ACKER","Cornelius","B","1847-02-09","1847-05-16","ZLL","John & Sophia",,"Geo Acker & wife, Anna Christina"
"ACKER","Cornelius","M","1875 Bef",,,"Anna Drusilla Knickel",,
LL stands for Lunenburg Lutheran Church. ZLL is Zion Lutheran Church, Lunenburg.
Also note that a lot of these Germans went by their middle name. For instance in the “Parents Database” found on the above Lunenburg County site there are three children recorded to Cornelius and Drucilla, then a bit below (because the fathers’ names are in alphabetical order) your Ellen May is recorded as born to John Cornelius and Anna Drucilla Acker.
Another site that is essential to researching these early German settlers is
www.seawhy.com
Hope this helps. There is lots of information to research in the above sites. Have fun
