Dear Bette,
if you take a look at http://www.familysearch.org you will see that the
name NATHAUS is located in the Westphalia area, e.g. in Datteln
(Recklinghausen) and Olfen (Coesfeld). You will also see that in Olfen
the name BECKER/B�CKER is very common, so I would suggest to search in
this area. Datteln and Olfen are about 50km from Rhine river.
Kindly regards from Germany,
Bj�rn
Hello,
My ancestors came to the US in 1874. The only location they gave for their birthplace was Prussia.
The family name of Becker is very common and is found everywhere. My grandfather only remembered that the family came from along the Rhine, perhaps near Koeln. I have been searching for many years and I am hoping the list will have some ideas to help me.
Hallo Bette
in a magazine "Unser Bocholt" in North-Rhine/Westphalia/Germany reported on a citizen family Becker.
If you wants scanne I you these sides into German ? This family more becker consists of 15 generations.
loves greet Charly
