That's really interesting, H. My great grandparents changed their last name from Becker to Baker so it would sound more American when they came over from Germany in the early 1900's.

I'm French and French Kanuck- not a speck o' Irish, but I love Irish lit, folk tales and whiskey. If ever I get to Europe, it's to see the UK. I've a mild interest in Italy and Germany, but the french have been so damned obnoxious over the years that I have no desire whatsoever to visit their country. No wonder my ancestors left.
