Barks' name

[timo ronkainen]

Hi

Someone here asked some time ago the origin of the surname Barks.
I remembered reading somewhere that Barks is dutch origin. And indeed, 
Barrier book says: "Barks' ancestors were Dutch on his father's side", 
therefore the name Barks has to be Dutch. And quite Dutch it sounds too.
