I got interested in my heritage recently, and did a net search on my last
name.  It turns out that the only Chefurkas that show up anywhere in the
digitized world are blood relations - my parents and one sister in Ontario,
and an aunt, uncle and four cousins in Calgary, Alberta.  And I have no fear
that the purity of this lonely yet noble patronymic will be despoiled by
crowds of third world ne'er-do-wells looking to appropriate a soupcon of its
inherent culture and distinction...  That would be unleically in the extreme
;-)
