Subject: German Language Expert Needed!
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2000 18:44:29 EST
Hi,
I have been having alot of trouble researching my surname: Murphy.
No, it is not Irish! I have my family traced back to Johannes George
Morphy/Murphy,
1780-1865. George Murphy was born in PA and died in Monroe County,PA.
I need help coming up with the German equivalent of Morphy/Murphy. Possibly
an umlaut involved???? The family lore is that my immigrant ancestor was
orphaned coming from Europe, and the family that raised him kept the name as
best they
could.
Appreciate any help!
Denise
