X-No-archive: yes

Come to the
27th IAJGS International Conference
on Jewish Genealogy
Salt Lake City July 15-20, 2007 www.slc2007.org

Can someone, well versed in surnames (aka Michael Bernet!) please tell me if
you see any connection between the names BENGELSDORF and GREENBERG? I know
that both "dorf" and "berg" mean "town". I'm trying to figure out why the
name was changed so drastically after arriving in the US from Poland.

Thanks for your help and chag sameach to all!
