Thanks Jason,
Yep, 0ur FitzRogers was dropped to just Rogers then after coming to America some spelled it Rogers some Rodgers. And my last name of Edelen was supposedly FitzEdlin De Burgh, then just FitzEdlin then Edlin, Edlyn and then one Edelen mother, who was from Prussia, wanted her kids' name to sound more Germanic so she spelled them Edelen. After they came to America there is a certain branch that spells it Edelin and another Edlen. So I can sure relate to what yo are saying. And thanks,
Dave
