Hi, I received the following Internet address from another list that I'm on. The address is for the UK Public Record Office, now available online. URL is: http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk/ListInt/default.asp I went to the site to see if I could find a Breedlove. I tried all known spellings. I found none. The only thing I found was a census area called Bradlow. Has anyone actually found a Breedlove in any other country? Has anyone ever followed up the suggestion that the name is German for wolf hunter or something like that? I relate the following incident to illustrate how badly names can be misspelled when passed on orally between two people with different accents from each other. I am new to this area (Central Coast of California) and had to go to a store in a nearby town to pick something up from their catalog department. I called the store to get directions. The woman I talked to told me to take the Stole (Stoll) off-ramp. I didn't ask her to spell it. I figured the spelling couldn't be too different from what I thought I heard her say. When I got to the area, I had six off-ramps to choose from. None were Stole or Stoll or Stoal. But, one was Stowell (where I found the store). In retrospect, the name could just as easily have been Stahl or Stall. Carole Colquehoun carolelc@gateway.net
