Can anyone tell me the correct German spelling of "Kulp, Kolb, Culp, etc" i.e., what spelling did they bring over with them in the 1700s. Thank You, Bob Todd ------------------------ I'd expect KOLB or KOLBE to be the original spelling as that is the spelling I find in PA German Pioneers. Very few German surnames start with C--mostly K. Joan **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
