Way down here in Texas we pronounce the name like the young man on the flying trapeze - daring. The original German was Doring, with an umlaut over the "o" -- sort of a flat o sound.
Mygreat-grandfather was Heinrich (Henry) who came from Walburg, Hesse, Germany in the 1880's.
By the way, our clan (over 200 of us) gathers on July 4th in Walburg, Texas (near AUstin)
