Andrew Laker's inquiry about the origin of his family name piqued my
interest so now I am inquiring about my family nameand wonder if some of you
learned genealogists might comment. Our family name is Imdieke. Many people
have told us that they believe it means on the dyke. My ancestors originated
from Holdorf in Oldenburg. There are also people from that area with the
name Imsieke. I am told by someone from that vicinity that he believes one
of the names got changed accidentally to the other. Any thoughts on this?
