It has been my understanding that the "Markum" family was originally in England and originally spelled the name "Marcum." However, I have learned there is a town called "Markum" in Holland, and have also seen references with the same spelling in Eastern Europe. Does anyone have information with regard to this? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
