Hello Everyone:

For those of you who have a deep interest in how, when and where your Surnames
were formed I would like to direct you to 5 new pages we have recently
added to our
web site.

Many researchers have for years believed that all ancestors with certain
Surnames
were at some point related. That is simply not true.

When you get back to proving your pre 1500s ancestors you will discover
that there are
in fact many Surnames that have passed through many families that have no
relationship
whatsoever.

The 5 pages mentioned also contain information on many Forenames and their
creation
and some of the pages are large so relax and take your time.


THE ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME   PART 1

THE ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME   PART 2

THE ORIGIN OF THE FORENAME

FORENAMES OF WOMEN AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE

FORENAMES OF MEN AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE
..........................................................................
There is much information here that should be of interest to all.

Go to our web site at:

http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/

Once there enter the link titled  "ORIGIN OF SURNAMES & FORENAMES"
this will take you to the index for the 5 pages.

For those of you who are AOL members you may have trouble connecting to
many pages that may come up with a message such as "Page Does Not Exist"
and you can cure that by using your browser feature of Copy and Paste the URL
to your browser and then enter from there.

All pages contained within our web pages are free for viewing and study by
all interested
researchers.

The very best to you all.

Enjoy.
