Surnames

Welcome! I do genealogy research on a number of surnames. I have a lot of information about some surnames and other surnames I have very little information.

Creating this web site is my way of sharing information that I have found and making a connection with cousins. I love to talk with cousins that I already know and I'm especially looking for cousins that I don't have a clue exist. So contact me! Let's chat about our family!


The study of DNA has been around the genealogy world for about 10 years. DNA can be a huge boost in the search for your ancestors. However, it can also bring more questions to the table about your ancestors or you may not match with anyone who shares your surname. Don't be discouraged though because the matches are a direct result of the size of the DNA database for your surname. The more males that participate in the Y-DNA study of their surname the better the chance of finding a match with another individual.

I recommend participating in the DNA study of your surname. It will cost you some money but it can be an awesome tool in gathering information about your family! We know that we need all the "tools" we can find to research our family history.
