Talk:Backus

Removed from article feb 2008
I removed this from the article. Either this or the initial claim in the article's lead should be referenced: "Backus is not a German derivative. Rather it is English, making it's first mention in 1303. It is derived from an old english verb "baran" meaning to bake, and "hus" meaning house. With a bit of retooling over the years it was shortened to  Backus." --Berland (talk) 07:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Fixed Origin Sept 2016
My mother's maiden name is Backues. We are originally from England, not Germany. I corrected the article and added 3 references to back up my claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.89.129.235 (talk) 15:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
