Subject: Surname Michael
Author: LadyBug18   (Authenticated as LadyBug18)

Does anyone know anything about the German surname Michael?

My gradfather's family came from Germany and were some type of clock or watch makers.
I believe they pronounced it mick-ael but it's now pronounced mike-al like the name.

I don't believe the family was Jewish but the only time I've heard this surname (outside Germans) is on people with Jewish ancestory.

Can anyone help?
