They're getting filtered out. In the graveyard where some of my people are 
buried the older markers had umlauts. The second generation had the oe or 
other diphthongs. The third generation went to a phonetic spelling of how

In high school I was surprised when the gym teacher asked how I pronounced 
my name. Usually that was reserved for kids named Czechnokowski but he 
apparently had been burned before.
