Posted on: Dakota Co. Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mn/Dakota/606 Surname: ------------------------- My original thinking was that the Philipp Becker was from Philippsheim, however, I am not so sure now, as I have not been able to establish a connection. Perhaps Werner Lichter or someone else in the Trier-Roots Mailing List maybe be of help. The name Becker is so common in the Rhineland and Luxembourg that one needs additional clues to be able to locate the proper individual. Bob
