Steve, This is great! I really appreciate it and I can readily identify almost all the initials. Why do you think that some of the names have no initials? Was that common with other surnames as well? Just curious. Now I'm really curious about my grandfathers side of the family. No rush, but when you have time, would you look Arent/Arend/Arnt? Christian was my ggggrandfather.
