"My name is Thomas Jefferson Bolch. I was not named for the third president of the United States, although my grandfather may have been named for him. Four of my distant cousins also shared the name Jefferson: Sidney Jefferson Bolch, Sidney Jefferson Bolch, Jr., Sidney Jefferson Bolch, III, and Sidney Jefferson Bolch, IV. I got the name Jefferson from my father and grandfather, Jefferson Augustus Bolch and Jefferson Anthony Bolch, respectively. Another "cousin", Jeff Bolch, lives in Canada.
The Bolch family also includes Bolick, Bolich, Boliek, etc., as the name was Americanized to make it more pronouncable. . . .
