Is there a more efficient way to define similar public properties

I've got a class with almost 20 public properties. These properties have in common that they are all strings and they are filled with data from different tables of a database.

Additionally the set is pretty normal while the get is special as I need to call a specific method. This is done for each property at the moment (see below).

My question here is: Is there another more efficient way of doing this, thus a way where I don't have to define each public property by hand in this way?

class myclass
{
     private string _Firstname;
     private string _Lastname;
     .....
     public string Firstname
     {
         get {
             return ModifyStringMethod(this._Firstname);
         }

         set {
             this._Firstname = value;
         }
     }
}

Like mentioned above every public property looks the same. The get calls ModifyStringMethod with the private member given as parameter while the set just sets the private member.
