There are a lot of Greenville's in Pa. so I had to send to several counties. If you'd like to see it, I could scan it and send it to you. Also, a cousin's (Walt Fischer) wife (Gloria) in Salt Lake City took a class in Danish geneology. They told her that, in Denmark, if a family wanted to change their last name, all they had to do was go to the local Parrish and register it and it was done! Apparently in Denmark, there were large plantations and all the people working on those plantations took the owners last name. So, when they left, they often left behind that last name and took one from their own family.
