Bockbrader family tree

Quote from Bockbrader family reunion book, 1976;  “We do not have complete authentic records and dates preceding the time of Frederick and Mary (Neuhuser) Bockbreder’s coming to the U.S. in 1844. We have an understanding our family began in France, moved to Switzerland and then moved to Germany in the 1700’s. At this time their name was Moyer. Since there were many Moyers in this area of Germany, it became difficult to distinguish one from another as many used the same first name. Our forefather’s family lived on a large farm with many birch trees. So the Bock or Bok came from birch; and the farm being wider (or broader, in German) than other farms in this area is where the breder came from. Thereafter they were known as Bockbreder or Bokbreder.”

Note from Marie Atchley RE above;  “Eventually, the name was again changed to Bockbrader. The book explains the area of the homestead east of Osnabruck near a small town by the name of Buer. When the family moved to the states, they settled in the Pemberville, Ohio area.

Frederick Bockbrader was born 1806 in Germany, and died 1871 in Ohio. He married Mary Neuhuser in Germany. Frederick’s oldest brother was Ernest who was born in 1797, and married Catherine E. Marten. Ernest lived with Catherine and her parents in Germany, and tradition caused Ernest to take the name Marten.”
