Carl & Emmert:
This is my branch on the Clevenstine tree:
Heinrich/Henry>John (1787-1871)>Henry(1812-1886)>Rollin(1861-1945)>Elma
(Clevenstine)Shaner(1904-1936)
There are many Clevenstines buried at St. Peter's Reformed cemetery near
Chester Springs, Pa, including Johan Heinrich's first wife Mary (Emrecken)
Kleibenstein. Heinrich Kleibenstein is supposedly buried at the "Forrest Church"
cemetery in Robeson Twp. Berks Co. Pa.
As far as I know, the Clevenstines in and around Spring City/Phoenixville
area pronounced the name like Carl had noted.
Several years ago, I made a trip to Centre Co to take pictures of
Christian's gravestone and get info on the Centre Co. Clevenstines and those that moved
westward. Still need to do more research on that branch of the family.
Regards,
Don Shaner

Many thanks for the input. You are not only the first to respond, but the
only one so far. At this rate, I'm afraid we won't learn if different branches
of the family have evolved pronunciations of the name more or less far from
the way the original German spelling would be pronounced according to German
rules. Hope the request wasn't considered hopelessly off-topic for the list.

I'm taking the liberty of cc'ing this response to my sister, Mary L.

Thanks again, and best regards.

We always pronounced it Cleven- like the first sylable in clevis( with the "A" sound. all of the Clevenstines I knew pronounced it the same way.
thanks for your input on the midwest branch.

As far as I know, we Illinois Clevenstines descended from Harrison have
pronounced the first syllable of their family name like the first syllable
in "clever", not like "cleaver", for as long as anybody remembers. Since the
spelling of the name was presumably intended to reproduce "Kliebenstein"
according to the rules of English, this is an interesting situation. I'd be
happy to hear from readers of this list how they pronounce the name, and
what their home states/hometowns were.
I imagine everybody has noticed the tendency of many people to rhyme the
name with "Josephine" rather than "Clementine". Does any branch of the
family use that pronunciation?
Many thanks in advance.
