Could this be due to WWI? Changing it to avoid discrimination against German-Americans during and after the war?

Re: Geneology Thread: Where did we come from?
Mom's Dad's family was from MountCharles in County Donegal in the Irish Free State and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Her Mom's side was from Breman and Lower Saxony, German Empire.
Interesting times in the Great War. Grandfather was an importer and lost his business and fortune during the war. He did not take it well and became a vicious drunk.CCT '77 & '78

This is also the first fully new version by MacKiev. The product was discontinued in 2014. They picked it up and made a small patch version 2014.1. No releases since then.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

Re: Geneology Thread: Where did we come from?
I determined this week that I am apparently distantly related by marriage to the late actress Gita HALL whom I had never heard of. Her last husband and the father of two of her three children, Mitchell MAY III, was a great-great-great-grandson of Dolz (Therese) BAER, the eldest sister of my great-great-grandfather Lazarus BAER. Although she was more than 14 years older than me, I am a generation older. That isn't surprising since it is my male line.
The "apparently" in the first sentence is because it is through a probably illegitimate daughter of Dolz whose birth appears to have been in a three-year break in the copy of the birth records which are on line on the state archives website. I haven't heard back yet from the town where the originals are.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 10-01-2017, 03:59 PM.
