Love that stone. I have always been partial to obelisks.

Thanks Dee. Wish I could take credit for the photo, but, like you, I love obelisks too.
Could it be that the Ten Eyck surname is of Dutch origin? If so, do you want me to add it to your entry at http://patmcast.blogspot.nl/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html?
Thanks,
Peter
Peter, They were from Germany, and sailed from Amsterdam. However, many people still think of the name as Dutch instead of German. I would love it if you would place them on your site. Thanks!
Barbara. It has been added, hopefully somebody can shed some light on the origin of this name.
