ArchivesRe: Surname tracing
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your response. I've just looked at the website you linked and ironically, the Brigit Tiffert who's posted about "Miedecke" is a relative from Germany (her mum's maiden name is Miedecke)- every "Miedecke" in the world is related! She must be making better progress in Europe than I am here in Australia with tracing the surname.
My German is terrible. Do you mean that the name is just the Sorbian version of "Martin", as in the given name? Are Sorbian names common, do you know?
Thanks again for your help.
