Introduction to One-Name Studies Course (901) Remarkably, researching surnames is seen as a very niche topic, despite the vast majority of people having one (FN1). Our individual family histories are littered with surnames. Hopefully all different ones, though if your ancestors like my maternal line, they lived within the same 30 mile radius for 300 years, crossing the borders of Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. As a consequence I have multiple occurrences of the same surname, nearly all of which do connect, even if a generation back, or individuals to the side of my direct ancestors. http://anglersrest.net/2026/01/19/introons-2/
