Hi
I notice you're from Ketchum Idaho--which was once the hideout of various celebrities & writers.
I have YDNA matches with KETCHUM, KETCHEM & CATCHEM.
The Ketchum (family) surname is thought to have derived from KUCHEN-- cook, deriving from the Old English word "cycen."(KUCKEN)
First found in Lancashire possibly pre-1066.
I just wondered if anyone knows how the town of KETCHUM got its name.
