And while we're sending out our Covey lines, I would really like to know how each sender pronounces the name! It would be interesting to start mapping where the pronunciations changed in various lines, and perhaps shed light on how it was pronounced by the first Coveys in America. In case you don't understand what I'm referring to: Some folks, including the Mormon branch, pronounce it "KUVVY", as in a covey of birds. Others, such as my Columbia/Greene County NY branch, pronounce it KO-VEE (long O). [Both pronunciations accent the first syllable - I haven't heard of anyone accenting the 2nd!]. Asa K.
