Becker Bible

This is a translation of the nine genealogical pages of the Becker Family Bible which is in the possession of Charles Compton (son of Olga Becker). I used google translate, a study of old German handwriting and a limited knowledge of German genealogical terms to translate these pages. The translation is not 100%, but I feel it is more than complete enough to give us all of the relevant genealogical information.
