On my Husbands side i can not trace Broodrÿk s with the Umlaut sign, is this just that some just stopped using it.
His gradfather was Stephanus Johannes Broodrÿk, think his brother known as "Jimmy" Broodrÿk, might be Johannes, His father David Stephanus Broodrÿk all seems to be notable family names

In the early days the name was spelt Broodrijk which might have looked like the umlaut sign. If you give me dates of birth of SJ and DS I can see what I can find. Their spouses names would also help.
