However, I thought Iggy's analysis was plausible, and certainly dovetails with your second guess--misunderstanding the spoken name. Quite possible.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-58831596409771435092013-10-31T22:01:10.972-07:002013-10-31T22:01:10.972-07:00O.o

So looking at Carle, the "C" and "K" are "kind of interchangeable". A German "r" is not a hard one, but more guttural, and a "final e" is pronounced more like "ah"... so... from what I remember of College German... the two names - Kaher and Carle might sound quite similar to us.<br /><br />I suspect Emma's mother was a Riesberger.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-31817829784661408312013-10-31T05:16:06.842-07:002013-10-31T05:16:06.842-07:00Until tomorrow's post proves me wrong, I'l...Until tomorrow's post proves me wrong, I'll offer this: I can see similarities in those 2 names if we allow for misreading of handwriting or misunderstanding the spoken name.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
