In the column that lists Jakob Beck as father are two other names in the midst of other German handwriting: Gorg Beck and Bez B. Teimitzing(?). The second name is on a part of the paper that is ripped and very hard to read. Could this be the names of his parents? In the column that lists Barbara Eckel, intermingled with other German handwriting is the name Tom(?) Eckel and Gertrude Eckel. Could this be her parents?
