Mr. Smith:
I have never seen any of my ancestors with other than Anglicized names (ending in "k" rather than "h"). I assume ours was one of the many names butchered by Ellis Island (or in our case, the Canadian equivalent. There is a wonderful town in Hesse by the name of Lauterbach, formerly Ludernbach. I've visted there as well as Lauterbach Vom Dachau, which is just a small farm town.
