Researching George BAKER/BECKER family. George BAKER (spelled BAKER upon arrival in Philadelphia about 1750) is said to be of Bavarian descent, born in 1714 in Ruth Valley, Germany. Can anyone tell me where to find Ruth Valley? I Does this town/village still exit? Regards, Michele

Michelle, It is called Ruhr Valley, it still exists. It is an industrial area, steel, coal ect. Try searching under that name!
