Aw, come on folks, how many times do we have to tell you-all that the English name AGNES was represented in Germany and Holland as NISKE, NEES, NIS, or NEESGEN or variants? You persistently want to claim this as a second name or a maiden name. This diminishes your credibility. If you do not understand the language or the names, then ask. Do not, please, perpetuate these errors. Sorry, but I have had a bad day. Erik P. Conard--Denver
