Hi n,

Fromknecht is german (Frommknecht to be precise) and means " pious

farm-hand " :-)). To me it sounds common and is easy to pronounce.

Yep Torsten, you are right. I actually " do " genealogy and learned this a

couple years ago... when I tried to tell my father-in-law what it meant he

didn't believe me :-)) My husband's family comes from Bayern,

Grossfischlingen to be exact. It's been a lot of fun doing his side. A lot

of the double " M " ers (as we call 'em) immigrated more to the west... we have

yet to connect them, but know they're related somehow. Fromknecht is

actually a pretty common name here in Erie, but go outside this city and

people look at it like it's a whole other language

Now my side is a whole other story, I am Italian/Irish :-)
