.....if memory serves, there was once another language in Bohemia, but German became the national language in the 1500 or 1600s, so it 'qualifies' as Germanic which is, I think, any nation whose national tongue is German. I really do think, though, that Heinrich started out NOT as a McKee but, as Kim suggests, a Mache, or other names that I'm sure you German researchers can come up with...other possibles might be helpful as names to watch for, so if anyone has any, why not post them. S. Heinrich might also be a Bohemian name (now western Czech Republic) and McKee may have been anglicized from Mache. Check out another Heinrich Mache, a scientist from Prague in the early 20th century. http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.encyclop.m/m005095.htm; internal&action=_setlanguage.action?LANGUAGE=en -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

To: pa-old-chester, c>1865: according to my husband, his grandmother came from Bohemia (Czechoslavakia) and her husband (the grandfather) was a Sudatan German. This area of Germany was mountainous and on the border with Bohemia. My husband's immagrant family settled around Blooming Prairie, Minnesota and some by the same name, settled in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. These families are to be found on the Internet, but I let my son search for them. And from what my husband says, his grandmother never learaned to speak our language. Oh, my, their prune rolls were sooooo delicious -- a delicacy; his mother and his aunts, well, each made theirs better than the other ones!
