Hi!

No information on the individual you are looking for.

Regarding heritage:

My Faber family is from Germany, but I've also found the name connected to the Netherlands.

The name "Faber" is the Latin word for "Wright" (as in mill-wright, etc. - one who shapes or works things, just like "Smith.") The names were assigned by the local priest when surnames were beginning to be used.

Kevin
