The Becker Family (3 generations). My husband's maternal grandmother's line.
Dutch, German, Danish, and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a baker of bread, or brick and tiles, from backen ‘to bake’. It would have been used for the person with responsibility for baking bread in the kitchen of a great household, or for the owner of a communal oven used by the whole village. In the latter case, the right to run this oven and change money or loaves in return for its use was often a hereditary feudal privilege.
Our line of the Becker's goes back 167 years to the year 1850.

My paternal grandmother was a Becker, her mother, Emma Soelle Becker immigrated from Germany. I just love the old wedding photos.
