The Rijker Family Crest
Some of the lineal descendants of Hans, Lord of Ryckers, in Germany, in the time of the first Crusade (1096), emigrated to the New Netherlands, from 1638 to 1663. Their names were Abraham, Gysbert, Ryner, and Hendrick Rycker. The spelling of the name became, in Holland, Rijker, and, anglicized, returned to Ryker or Rykers. The early American generations made use of the coat of arms, but without motto.
