Posted by: Matthias Springborn (ID *****9480) Date: June 24, 2009 at 08:12:28 In Reply to: German spelling of the surname Belken/ Belecken? by Darlene Rielly of 55488 The pastor always wrote the surname, how he heared it. There was no unitary spelling at that time. So the same family can be spelled in two church books different. Since 1874, when civil registration had been implemented in Germany, the German surnames have a static spelling. Notify Administrator about this message?
