Surname Saturday -- BOCKUS (Germany to New York to Canada)

More people write me pertaining to the surname of BOCKUS than any other surname. Although 324 Bockus names in my database is a fair amount, I have double that for several other names. The majority of those researchers are working on their Bockus Canadian line. The reason I have so many names is due to my access to New York records, from the NEHGS library in Boston. Once I found out about their New York connection, I wanted to help my Canadian cousins, because few had access to the records I found. I am hoping this listing will help additional Bockus researchers.
