Re: Surname Hightchew
in reply to a message by Bob Heightchew
The names Heightchew, Hightchew, Highchew, Hiteshew, Heightshoe, Hightshoe, etc. are all alterations of the German name Heidschuh. You'll find the original bearer of this surname in the US at tinyurl.com/lx8p7sr. By the way, the Pennsylvania Dutch are not Dutch but German as you can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_dutch.

tinyurl doesn't seem to work here.
Works fine for me. Maybe you copied the period after the address.
I did just that, this time, but in the other tinyurl I copy it fully and I was brought into a page that told me I wasn't allowed entrance into that part of the site (seemingly because they charge for that; I mean the one you posted about the dutch surname).
