Surnames/Locations/Tree

For visual trees, check out my tree at FamilySearch or WikiTree.

Here are just some of the surnames that I'm researching along with their migration routes. Why their migration routes? Well, I have a few common names, like Smith [Rolling Eyes Heavenward], and just saying that I'm researching a Smith family line doesn't really help, does it? [No.  It doesn't. ;)  ] This is not an exhaustive list. I will add to it from time to time. Feel free to search surnames and locations through the Google search box located in the sidebar on the right side of the screen. [Don't worry.  It only searches my site.] I just may have blogged about them already. You know, told some of their story? Hey, and we might even be related. So, go look! And then Contact Me so we can collaborate. I share. =)
