[Facts] Re: Trying to find out more about my name?
in reply to a message by Ecil
I am from Switzerland, from the German-speaking part, but I never heard about such a name, or something similar. Ecil is very strange anyway, it manages to sound neither German, nor French, nor Italian, at least to my ears.Do you happen to know from which part of Switzerland your great-grandmother came?

I was thinking the same thing.@ Ecil:
Do you know what year your great-grandmother was born?
Is it possible that Ecil might be an anglicization of some other name?
Also, do you happen to know if she had any siblings and what their names were? (That might give some clues as well)
