I would just like to interject that one must be careful about assuming the origin of ones surname spelling. My husbands family surname being Fitzkee, by your observation one would assume that the name meant son of Kee. However, I have traced the family back to 1640 in Erbach, Germany and the spelling was Futzki or Fitzki. Martin Fitzki was known to have come over the border of Poland/Russia into the Germany.. Further search reveals his most likely family connection there was Vietzky. In a message dated 4/27/2010 3:06:37 A.M.
