There is a site called Forvo, (<www.forvo.com>) which features pronunciation of words in many languages, by native speakers. You might be able to find a recording of SOMEONE pronouncing the name correctly, which you may be able to incorporate into your file. (Not sure how, a little beyond me...) Failing that, could you add your own voice? (Does Legacy allow for addition of sound files? Just a thought.)

They are all appreciated. I created a "Personal Knowledge" source to cover both name citations. I'm sure I can find more uses for this master source. In citation comments I entered: Margaret Bodenmiller-Van Wasshnova often told her children the correct pronunciation of Family name NOEL is Newell. She learned this from her aunts and uncles. It originated in Meurth, Lorraine, France. It looks good. I'll go with that. For the Barron nasal pronunciation, (Family originated in Champagne, France), that is a challenge to do. I sure wish I had a voice recording of momma saying it. -- Richard Van Wasshnova Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
