Yes I am certain they are but of course don't know where...
Many german (and other) names were changed from dislike to not knowing pronunciation... case in point one line of ours, the LEHMERs of Germany. Some descendants changed the name to LAMAR [long 'A'] and some to LEAMER (long 'E'].We are still doing it today as I thought the pronunciation was long 'A' yet my mother insisted her people used long 'E'. This is just one of MANY examples and sometimes you don't have to go FAR back to where the name was changed.
