I have a weird last name, since forever.
One of my siblings claims that the great grandfather got it messed up on ellis island
when he came over from europe.

I can find a dozen of us on the www, 6 are direct relatives and 4 more are 2nd cousins.

I just found another in the Bettendorf,Ia phone book that came out.

If you feel like taking two minutes , and actually have a phone book to look in,
I realize
that a lot of people can not be found on the www.

me for one.

thanks for any time or effort you choose to give this.

Gre(delete)az(delete)el is what I am looking for.

my email is wanders (delete) offpath2@gmail
for the name and phone number.

Fohn... buk?

What is that? Seems like I've heard that term before, but it's been ages.

Is that like the instruction manual that comes with your iPhone or something?

yeah , I don't have a land line either , but I still get three or four every year

I get one. Its about half an inch thick. Covers a huge chunk of the Yoop.

We get a phone directory but it no longer has the residential white pages, so it is mostly advertising.

I do have a land line, but the only phone books delivered now contain just the Yellow Pages and Government listings.

Gre(delete)az(delete)el

If I read this correctly, I find a lot listed on
Zabasearch.com

You may want to try that database.
I just entered the last name (as I understood it) and searched all 50 states. It found 68 results.
...and I think it lists 9 in IL. Is one of them you?
