Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 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 :-) MariAn AKA Robinhood's Friend ;-) > Re: Isn't having two with the same name great? > > Hi n, > > Fromknecht is german (Frommknecht to be precise) and means " pious > farm-hand " :-)).
