Hi - I am looking for information on my wife's family, NEUBECKER. We have traced her family back to a Nicolas NEUBECKER in Bruce Co., Ontario, Canada. Nicolas appears in the 1861 census with his wife Catherine (KARTES) and several children. The census indicates that Nicolas was born in France abt. 1820. I also found a Stephanus (Stephen) NEUBECKER in the same township and county in Ontario with his wife Margareta (WIEGERS). Stephen NEUBECKER was born about 1824 also in France. I think that they are brothers but I have not found any definitive connection yet. I have found records that Stephen was in Canada in 1851 and possibly earlier. I think that they may have come to Canada from Europe in the 1840s. I have looked for records on Nicolas and Stephen in France but I have not had any luck. It looks like the Moselle area of Lorraine had the highest concentration of NEUBECKERs. I have also noticed that most NEUBECKERs are located in the area covered by the TRIER-ROOTS-L mailing list which is adjacent to Moselle, Lorraine, France. Does anyone have NEUBECKER family connections in the area? Maybe there is a connection. Thanks, Jerry Sandoval
