Hi Haakon,
I don't remember the email of three years ago. I do remember you well.
It may have been that Moses Snoek was trying to evade creditors by fleeing to London and hence changed his name to Pike. Why someone would make a direct translation to the name Pike is interesting in itself if they were not a Snoek.

I guess the only way is to check DNA but for the moment I will accept it. There are Snoeks in Israel.
best regards
ian
