Hello,
I am looking for relatives of my great-grandfather that emigrated from Berlin to Brazil in 1908 with wife and 3 children. He kept contact with relatives and visited Berlin many times, the last one in the 1950’s.
He was Johann Paul Richard Becker, born 29 nov 1880 in Schöneberg, Berlin; son of Johann Ernst Becker (Bahnschaffner, born 14 jul 1850) and Auguste Albertine Wilhelmine Terves.
He used Richard as his main name and was listed in his wedding certificate as Optiker, but in Brazil he was a journalist in Ijuhy; newspaper and bookstore owner in Santo Angelo, in the south of Brazil.
He married 24 dec 1902 in Luckenwalde, Birkenfeld, to Klara Ottilie Helene Treppe, born in Luckenwalde in 10 oct 1880. She was the daughter of Albert Ludwig Treppe (b. 18 may 1836, profession Weber) and Wilhelmine Henriette Louise Schley (b. 22 may 1842), they lived at Frankenstrasse in Luckenwalde at Helene’s birth.
Helene's baptism in 31 oct 1880 had as godparents:
1. Schönfärber Tinius
2. Gottlob Treppe (Jüterbog)
3. Frau Bertha Neumann
4. Frau N. Treppe
5. Frau Louise Tinius
Albert Treppe and Wilhelmine Schley married in 26 nov 1865 in Berlin. He was the son of Johann Gottlob Treppe; she was from Wilhelm Friedrich Schley.
Any leads are welcome! I understand some german, but not enough to write in this forum (yet
)
Gruss,
Gustavo
