Nancy - I am sorry but I don't agree with this. It is very obvious that KELLER is the much more common form and I believe it should have a list of its own. In my experience (Pennsylvania German ones), I simply do not believe that KELLER is a variant of KELLAR - it may in fact be the other way around, I am not sure, but I have never seen the two both occur in the same family. I much prefer to have the KELLER researchers on one list and the KELLAR ones on another. If anyone in fact has both they can always join both.
