Hello,My name is Kevin Recker and I am from Dyersville Iowa.The Dyersville/New Vienna Iowa area is where many of the Reckers settled after coming from Ohio and from the Ostnabrauk area of Germany.Our family name is very big in Iowa and in Ohio.There is even a book of all our known relatives in the US and the whole of the new world.The book contains about 90,000 names and goes back to the 1730's.The book also talks about the Recker name being recorded as far back as 1498 in Germany.
I personally have visited the Osnabrauk area in Germany and a small village do east of Osnabrauk is where we all come from.The towns name is Recke Germany.I spent some time there this past June and went thru old church record and found many Recker's.One of many cool things about the town of Recke is that not only do we have a town named for the Recker's, but at wonderful old Recker farm, was donated to the State and turned into a wildlife park, called Recker Moor.
Please e-mail me about any question you may have, I love to talk about our family.My e-mail address it [email protected].
PS to get the Recker in America book contact the Dyerville Historical Society or contact the author by mail: Janette E. Laudick
