I have to be honest and say that I thought it was "Mr." too!

Ah, well, it's my own fault. I've used that username all over the place. Not much for anonymity, am I?

Mine too! Well, by way of Germany instead of Denmark. Changed from de Roques to just Roques. Hate it when they do that

Actually, according to About.com, Chang is the most common surname in the world.

...and our family also has Huguenot refugees. Ours were also by way of Germany. They were Perrines, and made their way to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s.
