Re: [cybalist] Linguistic Mathematics?

What about Waller referencing salt cellar? Supposedly my birth
certificate says Walukevich which is the name my father changed to from
Waller when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. My parents wedding certificate
uses the name Walukewicz. My mother and maiden aunt used the name Wasel
but the cemetery plot stone uses Waseleski.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hope this helps,
Gerry
