Hi, After I sent my 1st message earlier today concerning the surname BAKEIN and a look-up of 1900-1920 Census or City Directories, I sat looking at the surname and decided I just might need to consider maybe it was originally written phonetically and is, in reality, BACON. Sounds good to me because it would be more of a French name. Hope someone can help me out on this. Many thanks. Joan in NYS --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
