	Well, (Gary said, ddeliberately changing the ^Subject:),
	interesting. My mother's parents are from Hungary, two of my
	dad's grandparents from  Germany.  

	Didn't know about Hungary (or Japan).  China, yes.  Anybody 
	on this geek list know any other societies where the surname 
	is traditionally presented first and the given name last?  

	gary

	PS:  So long as no one calls me a 'primitive f*ckhead', I answer 
	     to just about anything:)
