This was an enjoyable read with a good message. <br />Over the years I taught a number of kids with unique names and thought that their parents were cruel for saddling them with such ridiculous names.<br />Mea culpa - I now realise that the parents were probably genealogists who wanted to make research easy for future generations.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-73657351691969512612011-10-12T06:04:34.140-07:002011-10-12T06:04:34.140-07:00I thoroughly enjoyed this post.

It was only when I started tracing my family history that I discovered that when registering my mother's birth, my grandfather gave the wrong maiden surname for my grandmother (he recorded her middle name instead of her maiden surname). As mother's maiden surname appears in the birth indexes this means that anyone who finds my grandparents' marriage, then looks for children born to them, won't find my mother. I have wondered if this should be corrected but the complicated process involved does put me off. Besides, I think it's ok to leave our descendants a few challenges - after all, we don't want it to be too easy for them!<br /><br />KirstyKirsty F Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558508787388848119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-59421411575911472662011-10-12T02:52:15.532-07:002011-10-12T02:52:15.532-07:00I enjoyed reading this post.

I know what you mean about Smith and unfortunately I have seven lines of Smiths including one Keziah Smith who apparently liked the name as she married George Smith in Hernhill Kent! Surely there was someone else in the village she liked?Helen V Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com
