To clarify what I had said in a previous message, I have not yet met a "Lyke" who is African American and there was not a geneological connection. However, I have encountered several people who are White and have the family name Lyke.
I have not successfully traced my own geneology beyond a few generations. My great-grandfather raised his children in the St. Louis area of Eastern Missouri and Southwestern Illinois. When I was a child my grandfather once spoke of our family name as being Irish. He had a penchant for the apocyphal, especially when speaking to children. So, I never considered this of any credence.
Perhaps there is a connection with the British Isles. Interesting!
