The German influence is very heavy in this area, my husband's family immigrated here after having first went to Cali during the gold rush. Lol, too bad they didn't save any if it. As for myself We were always told we were German/Dutch but turns out, yes my dad's ancestor came to America on a Holland ship but he was part of the group of Prussian Hessian Soldiers paid by Britain to squelch the rebelling colonists. Harkey originally Herche or Harche. LOL, Not sure on exact spelling unless there is a Prussian decended Pentax enthusiast that knows anyone by that name who could say for sure.
