Bernhardine Licklär
1920 – 1978
Daughter of Julius Leclair and Elisabeth Fitze; her surname records the fully Germanised form of the family name. Mother of Monika Ute Licklär by Jan Jagt; the two were not married.
Bernhardine Licklär (1920–1978) represents the generation in which the family surname had been transcribed phonetically into Licklär by Rhineland civil registrars — a quiet, generational erasure of the family's documented French origins.
She had one daughter, Monika Ute Licklär, by Jan Jagt — to whom she was not married. Through Monika the bloodline passes into the contemporary generation in which the French ancestral form of the surname has been formally restored.
