"Jackson: You have such a beautiful maiden name, Karen Keskulla.
Uhlenbeck: Thank you. I still sign myself Karen Keskulla Uhlenbeck. My grandfather was Estonian, although he was born in Riga, which is in Latvia. “Keskula” was the original spelling. It comes from the Finnish–Estonian language and means “center of the village”. If you go to Helsinki and drive around, you will see signs for “Keskulla” all over! That’s on my father’s side. My grandmother was German.
Jackson: Was your father born in the United States?
Uhlenbeck: Yes. I’m not sure about my grandmother, but I think she was born here too. I do not know much about my background. We are not a history-keeping family. "
