Greetings, I'm wondering if anyone on the list may be a descendant of 19th century Baden immigrants to Providence then North Attleboro Mass Carl Becker and Marie Eva Beier; I'm trying to determine their town of origin in Baden. Carl Becker was born about 1825 in Baden and his wife Marie Eva Beier (d/o Joseph Beier and Eva Jaeger) in the later 1820s - also in Baden. They immigrated to the U.S. in the middle part of the 19th century and were (I believe) living in Providence, Rhode Island by 1860. They had at least two children in Rhode Island in the later 1850s - Henry and Emilie. Carl Becker was a saloon keeper; they were Protestants. Emilie Becker married Charles William Hempel (s/o Charles Hempel and Augusta Klaproth) in resided in North Attleboro, Mass. Carl Becker died in July-August 1899 in North Attleboro and is buried in Swan Point Cemetery in Rhode Island. Marie Eva Beier died in 1897 and is also buried at Swan Point. Unfortunately the town of origin for both Carl and Marie Becker is unavailable in any census record for the family as well as the couple's death or cemetery records. We have pictures of them but I have yet to locate a ship's log from their emigration. I'm curious if anyone may be descended from them or have any suggestions about finding the name of their town of origin in Baden. Best regards, Kenneth Hempel
