We had a thread on this a while ago -- on the eastern coast of the United
States, it's common to have names like Yoder and Lapp (and Detweiler!),
whereas in Canada, we tend more towards names like Sawatzky (my mother's
maiden name), Derksen (her mother's maiden name), Bergen, Neufeld,
Klassen, Thiessen, Epp, Toews, Wiens, Dyck, Balzer, Janzen, and so on.
