This is the story of the Sifert family geneology as it was told to George Franklin Sifert Jr.
First, I must say that I did not use the name Sifert during high school (1945-1952), during my job holding period (1954-1966), nor during my painting period (1966-present), except for Social Security, and for the internet, I might have not used Sifert at all. I have been known as George Franklin. This is because of the mis-pronunciation that I have always had to encounter. "See"fert, is the worst and most common version. "Se"fert, is one I could never figure out except that they knew it was not "See"fert, so they changed what they could. "Sigh"fert, is the only pronunciation that I will allow, so when I use this name, I must constantly correct everyone trying to say my name. This strict rule of pronunciation was laid out by my Grandfather, Dudley Sifert. |
