Helen, I am researching the Meisling surname from Frederick, MD & Pennsylvania. Can you see if your book has this name, etc. If anyone has information on any the Meisling name it would be appreciated. This is a tough one! My mother is a Meisling, Fredda Meisling from Frederick, MD. Thanks, Alison Pippin

Allison, Sorry, not in this book. The problem with German surnames is that they can and will be found spelled many ways. An example: my ancestor Johannes Martin Wipff, stepped off the boat in 1749, Philadelphia signing his name, the English then translated to Wiss. Later it was anglicized to Whip/Whipp. When I need help with German surnames or the Language, I get on a Pennsylvania Dutch, or other Pennsylvania mailing list. There are many knowledgeable and kind folks on those list.

Hi Helen, I'm not sure of the origin of the name Wilcoxon but I've looked everywhere else for information on it. Can you please see if you have anything. Thank You.
