#introduction I joined Mastodon yesterday and am learning how to use it. I live in Massachusetts north of Boston. Some of the family names I research include Salt, Denman, Boothby, Snow, Sweet, Coffin, Hockman, and Minor #surnames My roots are mostly New England but my Salt line came to Virginia first. All of my great grandparent lines migrated to Ohio, so I do a lot of Ohio research.

Digging into Your Family Tree - Freligh Genealogy (Including Addendum)

Many years ago, I chanced upon a printed Genealogy of the Freligh family, written by Genealogist Theodore “Ted” Overbagh.

At the time, I had no evidence that my #Freligh lines met up with the ones in his Genealogy, so I contacted the author to see if he had any further information. He then sent me his “Addendum” to that document. From the second document, I was able to connect my Freligh lines to his substantial compiled #Genealogy.

[This article is intended to be a resource for Genealogists researching the Freligh surname and associated surnames, such as Fraleigh and Froelich. Additional resources for researching this surname and the Palatine Emigrants (aka “Pennsylvania Dutch”) are listed at the end of this article.]

台北時報 - History of surnames reveals true identities

🇳🇫 #TAIWAN: ❝History of surnames reveals true identities❞
- - -
The evidence is sufficient to show that it is false for Taiwan’s #history #textbooks to claim that “#Taiwanese are part of an immigrant society from #China 🇨🇳.”

If Taiwanese were truly #Chinese immigrants, they would have already had #Han Chinese #surnames, and therefore would have had no need to change them.

One of the resources I've run into while looking at/for #Japanese #surnames and their meanings is https://japanese-names.info/. While it claims to be "Created by a native Japanese", I'm finding it impossible to trust. It has some errors that look pretty elementary to me.

One is in the name Murasaki, properly spelled 村崎. The first part, 村 mura, means village. The second, 崎 saki, is translated as "a grim" on this site, while most sources give "cape, promontory, spit, small peninsula". 1/4 #names

I’m a #Jones. My partner is a #Jones! Common surname, of course. Yet still… Thank goodness I’m a trained #historian; these things can therefore be explored rigorously and concerns alleviated. Here we are (inevitably) in Jones’s Wood, #Worcestershire earlier this year. Why do I post this? Because I #love her, of course! And because I miss her when we are apart, as we are right now. #Names #Surnames #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #FamilyTree
