My last name was originally from a German immigrant who left Germany in 1735 after killing another man. The name went through two variations before it was completely Americanized although it is still an unusual name. Everyone in America with that last name is related in some way or another. The Ancestor who first immigrated here felt guilty for the killing and joined a church and later married into the Amish religion. I have some relatives in Indiana who are still buggy drivers although I don't know any of them personally. My part of the family split from the Amish generations ago.
