Greetings Ilse,

My grandfather Homer Franklin Minckler
born Mar 3 1894 in Mitchell SD USA

is thought to have been "Pennsylvania Dutch" which is of course
German. Would his name be entered in your book, and if so what is it's
meaning?

Thank-you - this is a lot of fun but getting discouraging. You'd
think I'd be able to find at least one name I'm looking for!

Take care and keep smilin' . . . Iona
