Okay, Herb - but you say I have a -ky ending and you have a -ke ending - perhaps you missed my message that said the -ky happened in the USA and the y is an aberration in the German language, it was originally Schoenke like all the other Schoenkes. But Teske and Schoenke are not related - the core of your name is Tess or Teß and the core of mine is Schoen or Schön. At least I'll bet people can spell and pronounce your name - something Americans cannot - or will not - do with my name - I have a very long list of sneezed versions - that's why I usually go by Maureen.
