Re: Von Beckerath History
dear Natalie,
I was looking in the internet something about my family past,when I found you. My name is Ricardo von Beckerath, I live in Brazil , and my grandfather was german, born in a city call Krefeld and I can tell you that his family also had a castle there, in Germany. I really don´t know if we are talking about the same family, however if you show some interesting to talk about it with me, I will be very happy to help you .
yours sincerely
Ricardo von Beckerath

Re: Von Beckerath History
Dear Natalie We're most probably cousins. My greatgrandfather was Richard von Beckerath and I may be able to provide you with some information and contacts to assist in developing your family tree. I live across the strait in Melbourne. Look forward to hearing from you. All the best Mike C.

Re: Von Beckerath History
Hi, I too have family history with the von Beckeraths in Krefeld, Germany. If you look up Raimund von Beckerath on the internet you will find the family business, textiles. I have copies of letters from Raimund and his son Bruno dated back to the early - mid 1900s to their cousins (my relatives) in South Australia.

Re: Von Beckerath History
I am sorry that I do not have any answers for you but I do have a question! I have a print of the protrait of Brahms done by Willy von Beckerath which was given to my father and signed by a Doris von Beckerath. Do you have any idea who this Doris was? I think she was a friend of my father, in Germany. The picture was signed Doris, London 1939 where my father was at the time. Thank you for any information. Sorry to bother you and hope you had success with your search,
Katherine Skorzewska
