Research Note

The villiage of Niederklein was (is) stable/unmoving for centuries, but the world immediately around it was constantly changing during the lifetimes of this specific Becker Family. Niederklein was absorbed by three different states or countries from 1800-1835. Johann and his wife Elizabeth were born in Niederklein, Prussia. Six of their children were born in Niederklein, Westphalia, Confederation of the Rhine. Four of their children were born in the time of Niederklein, Hesse, German Confederation. I have chosen to present this information in this research note, in the familiy's ten profiles.

Children born In: Niederklein, Westphalia, Confederation of the Rhine Peter Maria Elizabeth, Johann George, Johannes, Elizabeth, Heinrich.

Children Born In Niederklein, Kirchhain, Hesse, German Confederation Anna Maria, Wilhelm, Johann Joseph, and Christina.
