[78-L] Pronunciation Question

[kil at roadrunner.com.invalid]

Well there you have four possibilities that I hadn't even thought of.  I was trying to decide between Plice and Pleece.  Let's wait for tomorrow and see if anyone has a better idea.  Not much I could find on his ancestry to give a clue, except that he came from Philadelphia, which doesn't help.  He does have offspring, and they would know, but they may be from New York City or California, or anywhere.  Do we have any listers from Philadelphia who may remember him?
