Beth....... The google site does not go back to 1700s for the Reading paper. You can write to the Register of Wills for Berks Co and get copies of the entire will file for their fee, which last I know, was 50 cents per page. The abstract for his will is on the PA Berks board: http://berks.pa-roots.com/ The address and contact info is shown on their site. Does this will abstract help, or is this what you already have? LOUCK, ABRAHAM, Heidelberg. January 28, 1771 - August 15, 1772. Vol 2- 115. Mentions having sold his real estate to sons George and Abraham. And provides for wife Catharina. Devises all personal estate in 4 equal shares as follows. 1/4 to dau. Christina married to Geo. Peter ZERBE, 1/4 to dau. Cathrina married to Lazerus WENGER, 1/4 to be divided in 2 equal shares to dau. Elizabeth married to Peter ZERBE and the other share to my grandchild, to wit, John MILLER, Christina married to Jacob MINGLE, Margretha married to Christopher KEISER and the remainder 1/4 to my grandchildren born to dau. Maria Cathrina by her first husband, Jacob MOUNTZ. Exr: son George. Wit: Jost FISHBACK, Peter SPYCHER. I have a list of the settlers in the NY Camps, shown in the Palatine book by Knittle. There were several BECKERS shown, so it would be hard to find her father. Where did you find an exact marriage date? Is it from a church record? How did you know they were married in the West Camp? A Simmendinger List of inhabitant names, prepared in 1717, showed Abraham LAUCK living in the East Camp with wife and a child. BECKERs living in the West Camp were Peter and wife Elizabeth; Johan Jacob with wife Maria Elisabeth, Conrad Becker, living alone; and Friederich Becker with a sister Anna Elisabeth Becker. These don't provide much of a clue with the BECKERs, esp since Abraham doesn't appear to have had any sons. Usually in the old German naming convention, a second born son is named after the wife's father, and a second born daughter is named after the wife's mother. Hope some of this helps. Good luck.

Is there any information for the 1700s? Looking for any information for Abraham Lauck, born before 4 Mar 1690/91 Germany - died 10 Aug 1772 Burial at St. Daniel 's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Heidelberg Twp., Berks Co., PA He married Anna Catharine Becker 27 Sep 1710 in West Camp, Ulster Co., NY. We would like to know who her parents were. I have an excerpt from Abraham's will. Need full copy of will. Looking for list of his children. He was in a land argument with his father, Abraham Lauck Sr. We don't know why because we only have court papers, hoping to have something mentioned in a newspaper from the area. Is there any online information I can search through for above info? Thank you, Beth Humphrey Stockton, CA
