The Faber Family

 

 

 

 

Name Origin: ENGLAND, GERMANY, ITALY

Our Faber ancestors came from Germany.  The name Faber is derived from the Latin word "faber" which means "ingenious" or "skillful" and refers to a master craftsman. 

Between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries, German settlers arrived in North America by the thousands.  Persecution based on religion and poverty were great motivators in this large-scale migration.  So too was the opportunity for tenant farmers to own their own land.  Ample land and opportunity awaited the settlers who went to such states as Pennsylvania, Texas, New York and North Carolina. 

 
The largest number of Fabers in the US reside in New York and Illinois.  There are also sizeable groups living in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and California.
 

Maria Magdalena Faber married Johannes Miller in 1746.  The Faber & Miller line eventually connects with the Goble line.
