The origin of the surname _Weber_ is obscured in antiquity, but it is likely derived from the German noun meaning "weaver".  Our Weber ancestors have been traced back to Alsace, a small region that borders on Germany and France, and has been claimed and conquered by each side over centuries of wars.  Our earliest record is for a [[JacobWeber16XXen][Jacob Weber]], who lived in the Bas-Rhin district of Alsace in the 1600's and his son [[MichaelWeber1660en][Michael Weber]].  The Canadian branch of the Weber family, with [[JosephWeber1840en][Joseph Weber]], arrived in about 1860's in Quebec, then settled in Ontario after 1890.  His son [[EmilWeber1879en][Emil Weber]] migrated to Alberta in 1902, where he anglicized the family surname to Webber during World War One.
