[Facts] Re: origin of the name "Etrick"
in reply to a message by kathy
I am a member of one of four or five Etrick families in the United States. My family is centered in and around Dodge City and Garden City KS. My grandfather and two sisters emigrated from Danzig Prussia which has been German and Polish and probably lots of other countries. I think the name was changed to sound more American and the original spelling is lost.
There is another Etrick family in Florida. Jeff Etrick is a NASA big guy. When I asked him of his family origin he said he wasn't sure but also thought the name had been changed.
There is another etrick in Southern CA. and another in Detroit.I will try checking back here to see if there are any replies. Please correspond to jetrick@aol.com offline as well.Thanks
Joe Etrick
