ArchivesRiskey/Risky/Risker German Surnames
Can anyone help me? I am looking for help with a German name "Riskey" as my grandmother recorded it on our pedigree chart. But my maiden name is "Risker"; the name was changed.
My family was from Baden, Germany and Buer, Melle, Hannover, Germany; Prussia
I am having trouble figuring out just how my surname was spelled when they immigrated to the US in the mid 1800s; came to Missouri.
Thank you!
Angie

The original German name was Riske as you can see at tinyurl.com/y8topclx. You'll find the distribution of the surname in Germany at tinyurl.com/y7l8r94b.
