Thanks folks. I know what you mean - I was born in West Virginia but I live in Ahia. :) So, your guess is that the name "Bueding" might be pronounced "Bedding".. ________________________________ From: Ron and Jan Williams <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, March 29, 2010 7:38:23 PM Subject: Re: [HCGS] German given names audio I have a lot of German relatives here in St. Charles Co., MO and when a name has a "ue" it's usually pronounced as an "eh" sound. One in particular is Limekuehler - here it's pronounced Limekiller. But you have to remember some people here pronounce Missouri as Missourah. I'm a Missouri girl.
