1::10-12 noon MDT: LAURIE WERVER CASTILO -- RESOURC4ES FOR LEARNING MORE ABOUT ANCESTRAL SURNAMES
DESCRIPTION OF MAIN PRESENTATION:
Online surname distribution maps are now available as a tool to help locate the place of origin for a surname. Some map systems allow comparison of where 2 or more names occur, helping you to see where ancestral families came together. Many types of maps are available for a number of countries of the world.
DESCRIPTION OF CLASS:
Many names changed as immigrants strove to fit in to their lives in a new land. Understanding where your surname came from and what may have happened to it along the way should increase your overall research success. Each country or ethnic group in that country will have had their own naming history. What do you need to know to find your family?
