Why is the last name Serna spanish?
-How can it be? It sounds english to me?Serna Name Meaning and History
Spanish: habitational name from any of various places named La Serna, from serna 鈥榞rainfield鈥?(of Celtic origin).
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4
----------
Ah ha! The Celts settled England, too. So, the answer is a common root (Celtic) in both Spain and England. There is probably a French version as well, as there were Celts in France.It doesn't sound English or even British to me. It is a fairly common name in Spain and Spanish speaking countries. It is a rather old as well as common surname and the origins are uncertain. Spanish researchers say that it could be Castilian originating in the province of Burgos and neary Cantabria. The Castilian origin theory is that La Serna, Laserna and Serna come from an ancient Castilian word meaning the portion of a vassals daily labor that must be given in tribute to his lord.
Another theory is that it is Celtic in origin and refers to a field that has been destined for cultivation. The areas from which the surname seems to originate were decidedly Celtic before the arrival of the Visigoths
The origin of the Surname Serna is from medieval (Middle Ages) Spain, there are numerous spellings, however the origin of the name is Spanish. That doesn't necessarily mean that people with the last name Serna are Spanish.
http://familytimeline.webs.com/originsof鈥?/a> this tells you how surnames came about...origin just means the first time it was found written in records...I'm English and I don't recognise it as English, although that doesn't say it isn't

Surname Buracks??? where is it from?
-Could be a spelling varient of Barracks...certainly it is in my FH
Recorded in several spellings including: Baroc, Baroche, Baroucke, Barrack, Barracks, Bazoche, and Bazoge, this is a surname of early French origins. In its various forms it is found elsewhere in Europe, including England. However spelt it is relatively rare, and is locational from a place in Northern France called 'Baroche'. This name itself is or rather was, a development of the original Roman (Latin) 'basilica', a word used to describe a church or some other prominent building, on the outskirts of a village, although it now refers to the place itself. French register recordings are much later than in most other parts of Europe. This is because the majority were destroyed after the famous or infamous, Revolution of 1792, when the church itself, and all religion, was banned for several years. Registers and similar listings of inhabitants, were regarded by the Revolutionaries as symbols of the hated monarchy and in particular the secret police, so were destroyed when found. This helps to explain why this name whilst recorded in France has much earlier examples in England. In addition earlier many prominent Huguenots fled France during the lunatic reign of King Louis X1V, 1643 - 1715. He was a religious bigot who hated all protestants. Most came to England, and a good number to what is now Northern Ireland. Examples of the surname recordings include: George Baroucke, who married Mercie Baynam at St Boltolphs church, Bishopgate, city of London, on August 1st 1604, and Robert Barrack, who married Margaret Simon at St. James Clerkenwell, on July 27th 1651. Later examples are those of Marguerite Baroche, christened at Gelacourt, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France, on May 4th 1731, Jacques Baroc, a witness at Glasshouse Street French Huguenot church, in the city of London, on July 7th 1741, and Jean Bazoche, who married Barbe Humbert, at Lemmes, in the department of Meuse, France, on January 24th 1758.

That happened to a friend of mine whos last name is Inkret. After much search, I determined that it couldve come from Ingram or the like.

Help in finding info on a Baroness?
-I have a very old painting signed Baroness Ryhiner Morrill. After doing a search, all I can find is that her maiden name was Henriette Burkhardt. I believe she lived during the mid 1800's and had ties to southern California... but cannot find any other info on her or her husband the Baron Ryhiner Morrill. I'm unable to pay for a site that charges to find out more info... does anyone have more info or can anyone direct me to a free site.
Thanks for your help!I found her mentioned in two books that have "Snippet View" in Google Books. I can't find her in California in the 1930 census. If you are really interested, you might go there

The last name; Schulenberg. German or Jewish?
-Versus the "burg" counterpart...I had a German ancestor who started out Hendrich Kastleburg, and ended up Henry Casselberry. His descendants used Cassel, Castle and Kassel for the first part of their surname, berg, burg, bury and berry for the last part. He used about 12 variations himself, over the course of the years.
Levi, Cohen and Cantor are the only predominately Jewish surnames. Surnames like "St. -----" ("St. John", for instance) are Christian. Any other European surname can be any religion. Any other surname can have spelling variations, too.
definitely German...my whole mother's side is German, and there are at least 5 family names that end in "Berg" which means mountain in German.
The names in my family i can think of are Rothberg (red mountain,) Eisenberg (iron mountain,) and Steinberg which means stone mountain.
My grandfather immigrated from Germany, and he told me the meanings of the family names...I don't think it's jewish because not one of my family members are jewish; and i have a HUGE family.
Hope this helps! =)
Schulenberg Name Meaning and History
German: habitational name from any of several places so named, for example near Rostock and near Goslar. There has probably been some confusion with Schulenburg.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4
I think it's both. BTW -berg and -burg aren't variants of each other. Berg is German for mountain and burg comes from the German for town or city.
Probably both - German and Ashkenazic Jewish.

How to get heterochromia?
-I really like the 2 different eye colour thing and I heard there are ways to get it. If i can't find a way i'll just buy contacts but I really want heterochromia and it would look so awesome!what if it damaged your eyes?
Contacts are much safer. Also, they could produce legal problems, so someone could say to you that they can't let you through at the check in because your eyes are not the same colour as your passport photo. Unless you had an official statement that you really did change your eyes, then ...
Also, with contacts, if someone does say that, you can easily take the contacts and prove that it isn't real.Heterochromia is a result of the relative excess or lack of melanin (a pigment). It may be inherited, or caused by genetic mosaicism, disease or injury...so you can't 'get it' unless inherited, or get a disease or your eye is injured............what has this got to do with researching your ancestry?
The 'beauty' or medical category would be better to post in

Where can you go online to find free birth records?
-http://genealogy.az.gov/
That's for Arizona, and they are all at least 75 years old.
Without a reason, a state and a time frame, we can't help you.
The SSDI has birth dates for dead people, for instance. There is a site for people who died in California 1940 - 1995. It has birth date and mother's maiden surname for about half of its entries. So, if you wanted to find the MMN for someone who died in California in that time span, even though it isn't a birth record, we could give you the link.
People ask "How can i find my biological parents?" here 3 - 8 times a day. If that is your real request, just search the resolved answers.as far as I know, the only place to get birth records are the states the births occurred in at the Department of Vital Records in that state. Never seen any that sent them out for free though.
For very old ones, there might not BE birth records but baptismal records in churches where that person lived when he/she was born, if the family was church going.
Census records can tell you what state the person lived in at the time though.
Good luck.

Genealogy listings - kids with different fathers?
-sister with 1 child out of wedlock - then married, had 3 more children - how do I list this? She actually had 4 children total, yet only 3 with the one husband
then a niece with 1 marriage and 1 child, then a child out of wedlock.Genealogy is not about living persons, it is tracing your ancestry back in history. You might keep records of living family, but it is a major genealogy breach of etiquette to make that info open to others.
The other key factor of genealogy is accuracy, based on proven documents. In other words, if baby 1 has a birth cert with dad's name on it, that IS his name (and accurate birth date). The file would include the date of mom's marriage to her husband. It does not reflect baby's status in so many words. When info in a file is inaccurate and passed along, it creates major problems down the road, since it often blocks further documentation.
The children (and mom) have the right to define what information THEY want public. This is why states limit access to birth records to specified persons. I might feel one way about a record of a relative...but I respect that it isn't MY choice to make. I have to assume you are entering this info without original records, but by personal knowledge. Not good practice.
As long as you set the standard of courtesy and respect for your research, you should limit your genealogy to those who consent or are dead. None of the reputable genealogy sites allow data on living persons.Some genealogy programs can handle "non-standard" relationships. Some have limits. Most all of them have "Notes."
Thank goodness, I shovel everything into notes when necessary.
And yes, record all you can, but privatize your files if you share them with others, so that the living are protected. As for the dead, let the truth of their struggles live on.
Use the Notes function when in doubt. Generations from now, after you're dead, one of your genealogically inclined descendents might be extremely grateful.
Each child is listed by the mother and that relationship
Example:
Marry Smith-----John Jones (not married)
Patty Smith-Jones (of what ever the name is)
If however the child was adopted then they are listed with the children from the marriage and in the notes an annotation is made indication the adoption
Most of us use a program specially written for the purpose. PAF is decent and free. I use Roots Magic, $29. Family Tree Maker advertises much more heavily and is the market leader. It's $29 or so too. Write if you want links.
In any of them, you add a child and either link to an existing people, who become the mother and father, or add the mother and father. You can add a marriage date and place as you need to.
If you are filling out a Family Group sheet on paper with a pencil (or parchment with a quill), you'd have two for your sister, one for each union that produced children.
If you are making a pedigree chart, again, you'd have two, one for each set of children. The father's branch would be different for the first child than for the other three. To save yourself time, you'd note that the mother on pedigree chart number "123" was the same as the mother on pedigree chart number "124"; also that there were three children with the exact same pedigree.
If you are drawing a tree on a roll of butcher paper, with the parents as branches, children as fruit and their graduation days as leaves, I don't know; maybe two trees, one small.
As Wendy said, you shouldn't publish this, even for private circulation among just your family.

Starting family tree, how do I find distance relatives in Canada?
-I'm thinking about doing my family tree and I know I have distant relatives in Canada who emigrated there around the early 1900s from the UK on my Grandads side, it was my great grandads gran parents.
The only thing is I'm not totally sure how I'd go about this, I know I've got to look in the Canadian census, but how do I go about finding out where they left from in the UK and where they arrived in Canada? Are there some sort of Port or Emigration records and would that provide the right information?
Any help would be great.
ThanksOne method that can work is to trace back to where your family were living when the relatives emigrated. If you are lucky you'll be able to find some relevant records on https://www.familysearch.org/ or http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
Then find the correct village page on CuriousFox http://www.curiousfox.com/ and post an entry there - and sit back and wait. If the Canadian family ever tap in their names and the location, your entry will pop up, and they can get in touch with you. You only need to join as a free member to add an entry.
I assume you know the names of the folks who went to Canada (if not, you'll need to find that out before you can proceed).
But yes, your first step should be to locate them on the Canadian census. If you have a subscription to Ancestry.com, you can find the censuses up to 1911 there; they're also available for free at https://www.familysearch.org/ . but only up to 1891 at this point.
The 1901 and 1911 census asked for year of immigration. Sometimes the year given is exactly right, but sometimes it's off by a few years, so bear that in mind. With the immigration date, you can search the Canadian Passenger Lists and Immigration records, some of which are available on Ancestry.com. If you don't have a subscription, just post another question with the details and someone will look it up for you. Another place to check for Passenger Lists is the Immigrant Ships Transcription Guild: http://www.immigrantships.net/ The passenger lists should tell you from which port your relatives departed, and where they arrived.
Good luck!

The 1901 and 1911 census asked for year of immigration. Sometimes the year given is exactly right, but sometimes it's off by a few years, so bear that in mind. With the immigration date, you can search the Canadian Passenger Lists and Immigration records, some of which are available on Ancestry.com. If you don't have a subscription, just post another question with the details and someone will look it up for you. Another place to check for Passenger Lists is the Immigrant Ships Transcription Guild: http://www.immigrantships.net/ The passenger lists should tell you from which port your relatives departed, and where they arrived.
Good luck!
I'm planning on changing my name, anyone know of a good site that can give a good matching surname? Thanks.?
-Any time a person changes their name (even if it's to a married surname) then they are suspect when applying for a job. Of course a person can change their name to anything they like, even have just one name if that's what they want, but they must not be running from anything or it must not be changed for any criminal reasons. You might wish to consult with a numerologist so that your name suggests your destiny and the career you choose.Any time a person changes their name (even if it's to a married surname) then they are suspect when applying for a job.

Is it a possibility that I could get a doctor to draw blood and find out about my biological parents via DNA?
-I do not know my biological parents and have been itching to know them for the past 20 years (21 years tomorrow). I just want to know.Unless your biological parents had committed a crime, or their DNA was on thr database for some other reason, there would be no way to find them through you DNA. Even if it was on record, it would be hard to convince the police to go through their archives for you.
DNA is done via a mouth swab, not blood.................and unless your parents DNA is on record, so unless they are criminals, then no as there is no one to 'match' your DNA to..........

Where does the name "Raymond" come from?
-Which country invented it I mean?The ORIGIN of the surname Raymond, wg=hich only means where the name was first found written in records, not who 'invented' it or whaere your ancestors came from...more about surnames andhow they began http://familytimeline.webs.com/originsof鈥?/a>
This distinguished surname, found in England and France, derives from the Old Norman/French personal name "Raimund", "Raimond" or the Old Germanic personal name "Raginmund", which is composed of the Germanic elements "ragin", counsel and "mund", protection. English variants of the surname include Raymont, Rayment and Raiment. The personal name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Raimundus" in Essex and "Reimundus" circa 1121 - 1148, in Suffolk, according to the Feudal Documents from the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds. The surname first appears in the late 11th Century (see below). One William Reimunt was recorded in the Pipe Rolls of Hampshire, in 1207, and the Pipe Rolls of Kent list an Ernald Reimund in 1208. Sir Thomas Raymond (1627 - 1683) became a judge on the exchequer bench in 1679 and later was knighted and transferred to the common pleas and King's bench. Robert Raymond (1673 - 1733) Lord Chief Justice of the King's bench was granted a Coat of Arms, which depicts a chevron between three gold eagles, with a rose between two red fleur-de-lis on a red chief, all on a black shield. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Giraldus Reimundus, which was dated 1086, in the "Domesday Book of Essex", during the reign of King William 1st, known as "William the Conqueror", 1066 - 1087. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Is the last name Falcon originated from italy or england?
-I've looked and it says either italian, english, or french. Which is it??According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the English word is derived from the Middle English faucon (faukun), and Old French faucon, falcun. Both are derived from Late Latin forms. So it's easy to see how independent surnames 'originated' in different countries. P.H. Reaney notes that the earliest record of the 'English' surname appears in 1187, in the county of Norfolk, and is spelt "Falcun".
One shouldn't be surprised when surnames derived from simple vocabulary words, with cognates all across Europe, have many countries of 'origin'.
Falcon is a spelling varient of Falconer
This interesting surname has two distinct possible sources, the first and most likely being from an Old French occupational name for a keeper or trainer of hawks. The derivation is from the Old French "fau(l)connier", "one who hunts with falcons or follows hawking as a sport", also, "keeper and trainer of hawks". The hawk trainer was held in high esteem in medieval times as it was his responsibility to supply hunting hawks to his overlord or the lord of the manor. Early examples of the surname include: Henry le fauconer (Yorkshire, 1219), and John Fauconner (Somerset, 1327). The name may also be occupational for one who worked a "faucon", that is, a type of medieval crane or windlass. In 1282 the "faukonarii" or "falconarii" at Caernarvon Castle were paid 6d. per day in summer and 5d. in winter for operating this device. One of the earliest namebearer to enter America was Thomas Faulkner, aged 28 yrs., who appears on a "List of The Living in Virginia" on February 16th 1623, having come over on the "Mary Providence" in 1622. A Coat of Arms granted to the Falconer family of Sloane Street, Chelsea, is a paly of six black and silver, Overall a bend vert, thereon three trefoils in gold. A dragon's head and neck, wings addorsed, couped at the shoulders proper is on the Crest. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry Falkenar, which was dated 1194, in the "Curia Regis Rolls of Wiltshire", during the reign of King Richard 1, known as "Richard the Lionheart", 1189 - 1199. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Why am I so private on sharing photographs of my ancestors?
-I have an Ancestry.com account with three family trees that are all private. I have many, many photographs of my ancestors on those private family trees. I really want to meet more relatives through ancestral websites and I heard about AncientFaces.com. I read the success stories and I'm currently making a decision of whether or not I should sign up. I like the idea of meeting more relatives but I have privacy concerns. Most of the photographs are of dead relatives. Please share benefits of making the photographs public. Also, I would love to hear of some free ancestral photograph sharing websites. Thanks!
What happens to people when there buried?
-does the coffin eventually brake, and does the earth consume them? how long does this take?Dead bodies are not actually buried, only the coffins. The bodies are actually harvested of organs and skin tissues, brain matter, and any other usable substance, then stored in cyrotanks until further use is found for them. Some are shipped off to McDonalds, where the remains are made in nutritious and affordable 'chicken' mcNuggets, while others are kept right on the burial grounds, serving as a resting-place for lost items found about the place such as wallets, tissues, and cameras.
Please watch your step when entering and exiting the ride, as it may be slippery.
Thank you for choosing Coastal airlines, where all your flying needs are met!
Makes you want to eat at McDonald's doesn't it.
I think the decomposition can vary according to locate and climate.

Help me out with some ancestry/immigration (1900)?!?
-I am trying to find out about my ancestry! I found immigration cards of my family online and saw that they immigrated to the U.S. from the Russian Empire around 1905-1910. This is all very cool information, except for the fact that much of the Russian Empire in 1900 is not part of Russia today. Especially since my family was Jewish, I believe it is likely they were from Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, or Belarus (the Pale of Settlement). Apparently not many Russian Jews in 1900 actually lived in current day Russia territory. Is there any chance anyone can give me any leads from here? I would like to know the exact country they came from......This is all beginning to become very discouraging.
Don't know if this info helps, but they spoke yiddish. Also, on the immigration card there was a list of about 50 other families. For my family it specifically said they were from Russia, while for some other families it said they were from Lithuania and Poland (not countries in 1900)....hmmm??

What kind of tools do i need to find out policies of a deceased family member?
-Do you mean insurance policies? You need to sift through all their effects and papers and files and look for a policy. Ask the family lawyer or try to determine the family insurance agent and see if they are aware of any policies. Look for a calendar from an insurance agent or look in the car for the auto policy and see if they also sell life insurance. See if there is a safety deposit box with papers at their bank.
Dating ex husbands aunts grandson?
-My bfs grandma is my exhusbands aunt. We are all in our late 20s and my ex is adopted so no blood relation but what is their relation?Your ex-husband's parent is sibling to your boyfriend's grandmother. Your boyfriend's parent and your ex-husband are first cousins. Your boyfriend is your ex-husband's first cousin, once removed.
By law they are affiliated, but not that close.

Are finnish and sami people related somehow?
-As ancient populations, nope. The Sami are the original residents of the northern parts of northern europe. Finns are settlers that came later from the east, south and west. After this Sami gradually assimilated into Finnish society. These days Sami are Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Russians.As ancient populations, nope.

Need help on some genealogy things?
-I am stuck on a great great great grandfather that came from Germany to Missouri. he did his doctor in Missouri and worked as a doctor. his name was frank schowdngerdt. if anyone can help me out on where i may also search for him like doctor search in 1800s or census in Germany. any help would be great thanks.If you know the town he was from there's probably records that are easily located. However if you don't know the town I'd contact the German consulate in a large city like Los Angeles or New York to ask them for genealogy organizations that might be able to help.
I am not seeing that surname with that spelling anywhere at all. I checked Family search and Mocavo and neither had even a record with that surname in Germany or the US. Could there be a different spelling?
Who were the kids? Dates? Any other clues?
The closest I could find is Schoengerdt.

I'm 22 and not married I went to ancestry .com cuz I want know my family history my mom side and my dad side?
-But the thing is that I have to pay for it and I have be married why is that ! And It says I have to type up there name and when what yr they passed from both side of the family the things is that I don't know what there first are they both in Chinese all I know is there last names ! Why do I have to pay and have to married to know , not everybody wants to get married and have a family any wayYou do not have to be married to do Genealogical research first of all, I cannot imagine how you got that idea from Ancestry.com. Genealogy is the research of direct bloodlines in a family and the history, so there are marriages, birth and deaths as part of the data. I also do not understand how you age has anything to do with researching your family.
You might try Familysearch.org, first it is a totally free site and second there is a tutorial that has many topics. I believe researching Chinese records is one of them. I would suggest that you go to a library and get a book on basic Genealogical research methods, or take a class in basic Genealogy.
Genealogical researcher is not about the person doing the research-it is about their ancestors and you start with your parents and go back on generation at a time, recording information about them and where you find that information.
You do not have to be married to search your ancestry. You may start a family tree with the information you do have and glean from other trees as they find yours and connect. Ancestry.com is a good site. I found documents, photos and facts since joining them a month ago in spite of the fact I have many, many genealogy books of my family. The reason we need to pay is that they do the research for us and archive it so we can access it. I paid for a year's membership. Cost: about $13,00 a month, and well worth it. When you enter information, even a guess helps sometimes. When you get better information the guesses can be changed to reflect the new facts. Enjoy!
Its is just one of the many commercial websites and it is not the only way to research your family history, in fact it is one of the least affective ways when you are beginning to research you are wasting your time and money on websites and internet searching...but people do it because of the thousands they spend on marketing and TV advert to convince you...........start with yourself and work back, your local library and and records centre is a better place if you do not have documents/records at home...this website is free http://familytimeline.webs.com and shows you how you can search, help, advice and shows you how to get a good foundation to your tree...then use ancestry if you want or the other sites
You don't have to be married. It may have asked you for your spouse's name. If it did, you need not answer.
They have very little data on people from China.
You don't need to be married to join. There's a lot of free genealogy websites out there just look them up with Google..

Is the surname Halim a chinese surname?
-There's this chinese person I know with the surname Halim and it was funny cuz it didn't sound chinese to me, it sounded muslim-ish. I asked him and he said he's 100% chinese. What are the origins of this surname?Are you yours?? The origin of surnames can be lost in antiquity, or in the case of US immigrants , the result of a bureaucrat's spelling. The simplest explanation in this case is two words pronounced as one.
Does anyone know a very nice last name?
-I want to change my last name. I need a last name that isnt to common and also needs to sound nice. I really like english, spanish, french and portugese last names. please held me.English Last Names:

It's English. You can tell people you are related to me, and they will be awe-struck.
Martin works too - easy to spell, not too common, but not unknown - but with Pack you'll have the respect and admiration of the genealogical world. In some some weeks - this seems to be one (29 May 2011), the Religion and Spirituality one too. My "Top Contributor" badge gains and sheds the R&S category as my enthusiasm waxes and wanes.

How to view or search Mexico's 1921 census records?
-http://www.somosprimos.com/schmal/schmal鈥?/a>
I am not finding that the census is searchable (yet). I see someone has discussed an analysis of the statistics there, however. Somosprimos is a CA based and well known source. On the above page, there is a link to a file covering sources and addresses for research.
http://mexicanroots.com/index.php?p=1_1
another site with background.You can go to (search.labs.familysearch.org) they don't have the 1921 census. They have 1930 census and other records you might want to look at..

Is there any sites that you can trace your family tree for free?
-i really want to trace my family tree but i don't want to payMost free sites can be helpful tools and hints, but you really need to know what they are and what you're doing to make use of them for accurate research. There's no one site that will trace your entire family tree for you accurately for free.
Free sites tend to use subscriber submitted information. This means that I make a family tree and post it to the site. Then you come along and see that your grandma is on my tree and you can use the information I have to find out about your great-grandparents, for example. The problem is, you have no idea what sources I used or how good I am at research. Heck, I could have made it up entirely. All of a sudden you think you're related to Superman because that's what my tree says. But, maybe I'm a really good genealogist and listed my sources and they're all primary sources. Then you can go back and verify my work.
Also, people's names are not unique. If you don't have proper techniques you may find a record image on a site that shows Jane Smith lived in Boston. Well that's nice, but how do you know that this is the same Jane Smith you are related to?
Keep in mind that keeping, storing, maintaining, copying, and distributing records costs money. If you order a primary record from the County Clerk they will charge you a nominal fee because it costs them money to provide this service.
Free or low cost sites can be very useful for finding clues or finding out where a record is located. There are plenty of resources available that are indexes, lists, or images of records. To start it's not a bad idea to collect information from these sites and skip over things you have to pay for. You can always use this information to dig deeper later if you do decide it's worth paying for.
I also recommend finding your local genealogy society. They may have meetings, classes, workshops, or resources for the beginner genealogist at little or no cost.
You know for hundreds of years people have researched their family history, believe it or not you don't have to pay to do that and from looking at many more recent family trees which have only been 'researched' online they are not correct anyway...one mistake and you are just collecting unrelated names and that is very easy to do when taking 'hints' from commecial websites who have no idea if they are YOUR ancestors or not, or using the IGI as a main source of information or even other peoples trees which are copied and pasted over and over again...so

How would I get information about my son's grandmother?
-I am looking for information about my son's grandmother (father's side). All I know is that my son's dad was born in Trenton Ontario in 1953. He does not know her name. (I do know his fathers name though) Is it possible for me to ask the government, or is there a record of births for that time. Looking for any information that can help me.Have you looked on his birth certificate, it should show both his fathers and his mothers names, including maiden name if they were married or not....I don't know about the birth certs in Canada, however they have used simular documentation/records to the UK...in the UK you get a short and a full certificate...the short one doesn't tell you parents names, but the full one does, by applying for a copy of your sons, father full birth cert it should tell you the information you need.
My dad and I need help finding someone...?
-My dad has not seen his brother in around 20 years. Lately, there has been a lot of death in his family, and he's pretty much the only one left out of six (except for the pre-mentioned brother). My dad has wanted to get in touch with his brother, but he doesn't know where to start, and I would really like to help him. We believe he might be staying somewhere in Virginia or West Virginia, but we aren't really sure of anything. I just need ideas on where to start. Help, please?Lots of links on her to search for living people http://familytimeline.webs.com/adoptionl鈥?/a>check the white pages you can do a reverse search. If you know any names of his children check face book and my space... Google his name if you haven't already.
www.zabasearch.com is one source of info.
Yahoo doesn't encourage posting names of living people online... but my email is open (click on my avatar) and send me name and details (spouse, children, age, etc). I'll see what I can do for you.
Have you looked at phone books, asked relatives, facebook even? Checked voting records (think library might have those)
go to "people search" on google it might help you some

How can I find my dad?
-I am 16 and I have never met my dad. I don't know anything about him apart from hi name and that he lives in Dover. I don't want my mum to find out that I want to find him. I have no idea why I hvent Met him or why he isn't hear. Do you think it's a good idea to try to find him?Well, I would agree totally with Ted Pack, however like he says you will do it anyway..........please think hard before you do and at least talk to your mum about it, something like this is hard to be kept a secret and you may be surprised that she is waiting for you to ask , yet hoping you never do.
In the UK you are old enough to do as you please ( by law) however at 16 maybe not old enough to deal with it even if you think you are and I am sure you do think that.....please talk to your mum first.
Lots of links to look for living people on here http://familytimeline.webs.com/adoptionl鈥?/a>I think that even if all 10 of us top 10 and 400 others said "No", you'd still try.
There are a number of reasons, none of them good, that your mother has never had you meet him, and he has never called or written.
He could be married.
He could be in prison.
He could be a child molester.
He could be a drug dealer.
She may have lied about knowing his name. She could have been too drunk when she had sex with him to remember clearly.
He may have lied about his name and vanished the next morning; or he may not have spent the night.
i'm not sure that you can do this yourself since your sixteen but some people hire private investigators
to search for lost relatives.

I found out my girldfriend is related me?
-I found out that her dad is my aunties husbands brother. Does this make her my cousin? :( what should I do?You are only related to someone if you share a common ancestor. The only family of your aunts and uncles by marriage that are related to you are the children, grandchildren etc they produce by the uncles and aunts who are siblings to your parents. For instance if your uncle by marriage and your aunt divorce he would no longer be your uncle, but she would still be your aunt.
> Does this make her my cousin?
No. She is your cousin's cousin. That is, she is cousin to the children of your auntie and her husband, through their father. You are also cousin to the children of your auntie and her husband, but through their mother. "Cousin's cousin" comes up here almost every week. While it is fun to say, it isn't a real relation.
What should I do?
Treat her with respect, make sure the conversation is about her, not you at least half of the time, let her pick the movie or restaurant once in a while. If you are rude - the example I always use is you try to set a county speed record for getting a bra off - your auntie will hear about it and you will be ashamed.
Your Fathers Auntie's Husband is not biological related to you. Consequently his brother is not biologically related to you either. So your girlfriend is not biologically related and even if she was the relationship would be so distant that it wouldn't matter much.
You are not blood relation. She is not your cousin. Do what you like, no blood involved. She is a cousin to your cousins [your Aunt's children] but not your cousin. OK?
uhhm she is not your cousin, go on continue your love for her.
You're really just distant in-laws. You don't have any blood relation to her.
yes. well its illegal to date your cousin.

Why are Iranians considered white? And why are Jewish people considered Asians?
-It's strange the way people link people to actually being one thing when they are another perhaps? Somewhere it was said that the above were true, it's just that most people don't know it, but they looked into the historical roots of it somehow? Just wondering how historians and archeologists linked it? What kind of proof did they use to form these theories?A theory is a sort of guess; when they can prove a theory it becomes a (scientific) law. That is why they speak of the Big Bang theory, the theory of evolution, and out of Africa theory: because no one has ever seen them happen, there is no proof.
Iranians are white; Jews are Asian.
Look up the definition of Asian: it means "eastern". The terms Asian and Oriental come from the Greeks and Romans; if you lived east of them, you were Asian/Oriental. If you lived in Spain, you lived west of them, so you were Occidental.
The white race originated in India, not in the Caucusus Mountains as claimed. So, people of India, Pakistan, all countries ending in "-stan", Russia, the Middle East, and Europe, Australia, New Zealand, all 21 countries in the Americas, are white (i.e., predominately white). There are mostly whites in Egypt and the Magreb and many in South Africa and other countries.
Neither of these things (Iranians = white, Jews = Asians) happen to be either archealogical or historical findings: they are solid facts, just as the sun rises in the east is a fact.
1. You'd have to ask each person the reason for why they categorize people as " white". Different people have different concepts about that (which IMO shows how fluid and subjective such racial categorization is). but in the old anthropological division of people into racial categories termed Caucasoid (aka Caucasian), Mongoloid and N* e_g _ *r_o_i_d (ridiculous Yahoo is not letting me even type the word) the Iranians would definitely be in the Caucasoid category along with Norwegians, Spanish, Arabs, Afghans etc.
It depends on how many categories someone wants to divide people into.
The concept of "whiteness" seems to usually be an Us versus Them thing. Some people from northern European background didn't used to consider Italians "white" . or at least not dark haired southern Italians.
2. As for why some may consider Jewish people Asians, well,the location they originally came from, where Israel is today, is on the continent of Asia. the very western edge of it, but it's Asia. So also Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians, Iranians, Iraqis, Saudis and a bunch of Russians etc. are all technically Asians. though usually when people use the term "Asian" about people they mean people whose ancestors came from farther east in the huge continent of Asia.
Of course, during many centuries in which the Jewish people did not have an official state, large numbers of them migrated to many other countries on several other continents so they adopted a lot of the culture of where they lived.
People originating in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa are classified as Caucasian. At what point does a person consider another white or non white is often times in the eye of individual person.
I was born with a skin cancer type pigmentation, red hair, blue eyes and I freckle and burn. Still when I am wearing something white, no way is it the same color as my skin. As far as I am concerned a tanned skinned Sicilian and a Spaniard from the southern tip of Andalusia is a white person if I am a white person. It is simply in the eye of the beholder. Being Asian doesn't necessarily mean a person is non white.
Edit: Northinguseful is right about the term Oriental. In the early part of the first millennium, Eastern Europe was considered oriental and western Europe Occidental.
Why are Iranians considered white?
They aren't. They are considered Caucasian, if you divide humanity into three races. Skin color has less to do with it than the shape of their heads and noses.
And why are Jewish people considered Asians?
They aren't. They are one of the Semitic peoples. Their ancestors came from the middle east. They too are Caucasian.
Race is determined, in Physical Anthropology among other variations within the human physical structure through Ethnic Linguistic Groups. A major branch of the Indo-European Speaking people settlements stretch from Central Asia through parts of the Caucasus Mountains to the Persian Gulf.
This population is primarily part of the Haplogroup R1a!(Y-DNA) .
In the Study of Anthropology Caucasoid people are divided in to three groups based on linguistic grounds: The Indo-European, Semitic, and Hamitic. That having been said, Indo-European and Semitic speakers are Caucasian. The people of Iran ans well as Israel are Caucasian.
Judaism is a religion and has nothing to do with Race.
You question has nothing to do with Genealogy, but I gave the most simplified answer from an Anthropological prospective.
How on earth can you consider a religion a skin colour.....you are taking complete rubbish...........................

How do i trace my mother who gave me up for adoption in 1969 . they also never left a surname . please help . ?
-You need to get your adoption records and that can be different in different countries, some help/advice on her from UK/US first part is about researching living people, under that is adoption http://familytimeline.webs.com/adoptionl鈥?/a>unless she left you at the fire station, there are records of her giving up her rights, which have to include the name. These are court records. However, adoption records are NOT public, and in many cases, not even accessible to the child.
Some states have adoption registries, where both parties can sign up, IF they want to find each other. Your state may also be one that allows some access to documents.
www.cyndislist.com will have a section on adoption, and resources. We can't tell you for certain since every state and every adoption is different.
If you can get the adoption file opened it would have her name. However, at the time most adoptions were closed. You would have to go to the court of record and petition that the records be opened.

Origin of "Fierro" surname?
-So I read the question about the "del fierro" surname on here and one would say without a doubt that it is a Spanish last name. According to the Spanish National Statistics Office (http://www.ine.es/daco/daco42/nombyapel/nombyapel.htm), the region with the greatest amount of people with the surname "Fierro" live in Leon and there's a total of roughly 2300 persons with the surname in all the country.
However I found a very similar website to the Spanish National Statistics Office, but Italian(\http://www.gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/).Apparently there is an equal amount of persons with the last name in Italy as in Spain.
So where did the last name (Fierro) really originated at? Could it be the spanish equivalent of italian Ferro? Help me out here guys.

How do i trace my mother who gave me up for adoption in 1969 . they also never left a surname . please help . ?
-You need to get your adoption records and that can be different in different countries, some help/advice on her from UK/US first part is about researching living people, under that is adoption http://familytimeline.webs.com/adoptionl鈥?/a>unless she left you at the fire station, there are records of her giving up her rights, which have to include the name. These are court records. However, adoption records are NOT public, and in many cases, not even accessible to the child.
Some states have adoption registries, where both parties can sign up, IF they want to find each other. Your state may also be one that allows some access to documents.
www.cyndislist.com will have a section on adoption, and resources. We can't tell you for certain since every state and every adoption is different.
If you can get the adoption file opened it would have her name. However, at the time most adoptions were closed. You would have to go to the court of record and petition that the records be opened.

Is there a Mexican ancestry.com?
-So I've been on Ancestry.com but my family was originally from Mexico and there doesn't seem to be any records of the Mexican race there's only pretty much everything else. Does anyone know??
Any that actually work or that are reliable? Let me know please(:http://www.somosprimos.com/schmal/schmal鈥?/a>
I am not finding that the census is searchable (yet). I see someone has discussed an analysis of the statistics there, however. Somosprimos is a CA based and well known source. On the above page, there is a link to a file covering sources and addresses for research.
http://mexicanroots.com/index.php?p=1_1
another site with background.
just posted the above not five minutes ago for another poster.
www.rootsweb.com has email lists that you can join as well, to join others focused on searching in Mexico.
DON"T confuse the idea that if ancestry.com does not have it, it isn't out there. Also, all records for genealogy may not even be online.
no, Mexicans were invented in 1951 when the Asians stopped working in factories and decided to become doctors and/or Jews. You can still buy the original test tubes where the first Mexicans were produced on ebay, for like $25 or something.
FamilySearch has a pretty good collection of Mexican records, and they're adding more all the time. Check it out:

Were Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn related to eachother?
-I was wondering if the two women were related given that they share the same last name.While both actresses share a surname, they are only very distantly related. I am uncertain as to the relation, if it is by blood or by marriage, however I do know that Audrey formally changed her name to Hepburn only after Katherine had rose to prominence in Hollywood. I truly hope this helps.Audrey's birth name was Audrey Kathleen Ruston, and she was born in Belgium. Katherine's parents were Thomas Hepburn and Katherine Houghton. The original spelling for Katherine's grandfather was Hepbron. Her father's family came from Virginia.
I am not aware of any actual relationship of any kind.
edit
Samantha is correct on the spelling for the first name. The surname and relationship is the issue.
It is Katharine Hepburn, not Katherine

Whats the Origin of my last name anyone know?
-Okay my Last Name is 'Sargeant' i looked on the net and it said it originated in Germany? but yeah i dont know does anyone know?Sargeant
This interesting surname is of early medieval English and Old French origin, and is an occupational name for a servant. The name derives from the Middle English, Old French "sergent", servant, from the Latin "serviens", present participle of "servire", to serve. The word also developed various specialized meanings, for example, a technical term for a tenant by military service below the rank of a knight, and as the name for any of certain administrative and legal officials in different localities. Robert le Serjaunt is noted in the 1221 Curia Regis Rolls of Leicestershire, and Thomas le Sergeant is listed in the Assize Rolls of Staffordshire (1266). A family by the name of Sargeant trace their descent from John le Sergeant, who held the office of sergeant of the forest of Dean from about 1327. In the modern idiom the surname has many variant spellings ranging from Sargant, Sargeant and Seargeant to Sergant, Searjeant and Sergeaunt. Recordings of the surname from London Church Registers include: the christening of John, son of Robert Sargeant, on November 8th 1580, at St. Botolph without Aldgate, and the christening of Thomas, son of Francis Sargeant, at St. Mary Mounthaw, on September 16th 1598. A Coat of Arms granted to the family depicts a black chevron between three black dolphins embowed on a silver shield, the Crest being a black dolphin embowed between two silver wings. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Edric le Sergant, which was dated 1185, in the "Documents relating to the Danelaw", Lincolnshire, during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

I have a genealogy question?
-I would like to learn more about Cornelius Belvin Welborn. He is said to have been born in 1848, fought in the civil war in 1864-65 and then registered as an orphan in 1867. Where can I find more info on his civil war service and his deceased father and why was he considered an orphan in 1867. Thanks.

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2300369&GRid=35669223&He wasn't the only 16-year old soldier in the Civil War. That doesn't make him an adult, though. He would have been 19 in 1867, and back then you had to be 21 to be an adult. He was probably considered an orphan because both of his parents died.
In 1860 his father was already gone.

100 years of only females born in my family.....is that a record?
-It has been four generations of only females born in my family. I would like to know if that is some kind of record. I can not find anything on google. Also I am not talking about just my core family I am talking about extended too. My great grandmother had 2 girls the 2 girls had 9 girls and the 9 girls have 3 girls and counting. No boys at all. Thanks so much!!!I see you asked a similar question in Y!A about 1 year ago.
I don't find anything in the Guiness Book of World Records regarding the most number of family generations with only females.
I did find this British newspaper article about 5 generations of females, but it isn't clear if there were/are only females born into each generation.

I want to change my surname?
-I looked online & there's lots of companies that provide this service. However, there's quite a difference in costs...
How do I choose which company to use ?
What should I be looking for ?In the United States changing your name--whether it be your surname, first name, or middle name is a legal matter. You do not pay a company for the actual name change--however you will haave court fees and the like.
This online wiki does a very good job explaining the process. http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Your-Name
Changing your name is not a short process, especially if it is for reasons other then getting married. Which takes less time because the government is usually pretty sure that they know the reason for that one.
You may decide to use a company to notify your family, friends, and anyone else you so choose of your legal name change. However, you can send those cards out or tell them yourself.
It is called 'market forces'.............deed poll via online or by going to a solictors office will cost different amounts
This is one of many 'official' deed poll websites, but it is a COMMERCIAL website...if you go to direct.gov.uk that is official government site and you can search on there to see who/what they recommend
You can do it merely by going to your local court clerk's office, filing the proper papers and paying a small filing fee. You don't need an intermediary or a company to do this.
Depending on were your from, here in the Uk you can use Deed poll its quite cheap! you may want to have a look.
The easiest way is to get married =)

How do you find your Native American heritage?
-I have been looking up my ancestry and I am trying to find out how to find my Native American roots. My great-grandmother was Native American from Meade county in South Dakota. I would like to know about the tribe my family is from.The same way everybody looks up their ancestors and creates a family tree. By staring with yourself, then parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc. start collecting birth, marriage and death certificates, military (if any), newspaper announcements. Once you get to 1930 you can look for family in censuses. There were Federal censuses, state censuses and special "Indian" censuses as well as Reservation censuses.
Here is a website for Meade County South Dakota:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sdmead鈥?/a>
Ancestry has the "U.S. Indian Census Rolls 1885 to 1940" the original database is: "Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1940; (National Archives Microfilm Publication M595, 692 rolls); Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Record Group 75; National Archives, Washington, D.C."
You can see if a LDS Family History center has the microfilms or see if your local library had Ancestry to use.
http://beta.familysearch.org/
You find any ancestors the same way, you start with the known information YOU and work back, looking at appropiate records to find the events in the ancestors life you are looking for, such as death, marriage,baptism, birth, onto parents names and contiue in this way making sure you have enough records to make the connection. http://familytimeline.webs.com/ this website will help you do that, most is done at home by talking to your relations, listening to the family stories and looking at the records/documents they already have, which then starts to build a tree and gives you experience to go back further, knowing who you are looking for and where you are looking...don't just jump in looking for NA ancestry without connecting your living family correctly...once you have done this look at the links page and there are some NA ancestry links
You already seem to know that you are of Native American ancestry. I would contact the Sioux tribal office in SD and see if you G-GM was a tribal member.
You can do a DNA test to determine % of Native American and check for companies who do upgrades to try to narrow it down to a certain tribe. Be sure the company you select for the first one does the upgrade or it will cost you more. Cost should be about $200.00 for both. Frame your certificate and display it proudly. If so you can do the mitochondrial test. If not a cousin could it for you. Discuss all your questions with someone at the company before testing. I was on the phone [toll free] for 2 hours on a Sunday morning, and got lots of answers. I did mine in 2005, motivated a cousin and sister to have theirs done also. It's a great tool to document the ancestry. Before that we had only oral family history. Even members of the family were skeptics about the ancestry. DNA makes them a believer!

English: habitational name from any of several places called Barrington. The one in Gloucestershire is named with the Old English personal name Beorn + -ing- denoting association + tun 鈥榮ettlement鈥? In the Somerset place name the first element is an unattested Old English personal name Bara, which also occurs, in the genitive form, as the first element of the Cambridgeshire place name.

Most of the African-Americans in the USA have English (or at least European) surnames, but predominately African heritage.

This interesting recorded in a number of spellings including Barrington, Berrington, Bornton, and Borrington, is of English pre 7th century origins. It is a locational surname from the villages of Barrington in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Cambridgeshire. These village names and hence the surname derive from the personal name "Bara", related to the German (Anglo-Saxon) "Baro", a nickname for a troublesome person (!), plus "ing", a tribe, and "ton", a settlement.As the invading Anglo-Saxon's were definately "troublesome" to the existing English, there may be a double meaning to the name. The surname is also quite popular in Ireland. An English family called Barrington settled in County Leix, Ireland, around the middle 16th century, whilst other Barrington's established themselves in County Cork circa 1650. Early examples of the surname recording taken from authentic church registers include Judeth Barrington, who married John Barker on February 11th 1593, at St. Benedict's, Cambridge, Anthonye Barrington, christened on July 22nd 1599, at Tewkesbury in the county of Gloucestershire, whilst Isack Borrington married Amy Culcup, at Sy Giles Cripplegate, London, on Boxing Day, 1652, in the "reign" of Oliver Cromwell. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Warin de Barenton, which was dated 1273, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Cambridgeshire", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307.

Last names come from ancestors, they are not chosen. They can't be "popular". Popular names would be first names, which people can pick from.
Finding common names is as easy as opening your phone book, and seeing which are most numerous. It won't be much different from the 40s.
Pretty much as they are today except today we have names from India and other far eastern countries we didn't have much of in 1940,.

How to get more tickling action?
-My friend Ethan who is a boy is my same age and we are really food friends. I have always wanted to tickle him because he is a black belt, but also super ticklish. He came over to my house last week and I asked him if he has ever played the game. He said no, so I said he has to try it. He stood up straight and I told him to watch my finger. He was standing right in front of my bed. He was freaking out. Then I told him to raise his arms up. He did it slowly. A few seconds later I tickled his arm pits and he flew back wards onto my bed laughing. I loved it! I had to get just a little more tickle action before he went home. I told him to lay on the ground so I could do the Running Man on him. He had hi arms flat up and legs spread apart. I just started poking him and then tickled his feet he laughed a little bit. When I tried to sit on his belly he said it was to akward and he also covered his private, but I wasn't going to poke him there. I just want to find a way to tickle him so more or to get him to do the Tickle Challenge. He doesn't really want to be tickled, but I love tickling him!UM FREAK HOW OLD R YOU
Your friend sounds exactly like I was at that age, (or any age for that matter).
Thing is my friend Mark would get "help" from 3 other guys and they would
hold me down & many times tie me up. After that I was "dog meat".
It happened a lot in summer because I was always barefoot wearing only
cutoffs, so I was their perfect victim. It was hard for Mark to get me by
himself because I could run, but with Jeff, Russell & Kurt the 4 of them
ambushed me so I couldn't possibly escape.
I've never been the aggressor in tickle torture, so what is it with you maniacs?
I've been told my laugh is cute, my struggling is "HOT", my bare feet are soft,
etc as the reason I get tickle-tortured, so is that it with Ethan? My experience
has been to really get me like you seem to want to do with Ethan you will
have to get help.
If he's horribly ticklish he will be a delicious "victim" but he will probably be
extremely hard to catch. If you do get him helpless and have your way with
him don't torture him til he's screaming & crying. Make it FUN, and let him
tickle you back. Who knows, he might get to like it, especially later if it
makes him incredibly um- "excited", (like it did with me).

The last name "Sarkar" has Persian roots...does that mean all Sarkars have Persian roots?
-i know for a fact, that the last name "Sarkar" is common for bengali people...but the name itself has origins in Persia...i also know some bengalis have ancestry roots in persia...so is there a correlation between having a last name rooted in Persia, and having actual ancestry roots in persia??Sarkar is the word to call a "Sargent" And means "On Duty" in Persian!
Is it true that if you have the same surname as somebody you are related?
-If it isn't that popular, say if the surname was wilder... i've personally never met anyone with that surname.Wilder is a very popular surname! And just because you have the same last name as someone it does not mean that you are related. When my relatives immigrated from Europe they change their last name to fit it. A common practice among immigrants from back then. The best way to find out if you're related to someone is to research!I've known four people whose surname is Wilder. Not related to one another.
If your name is really odd--no more than a few dozen in the whole country--then maybe, but Wilder is not all that unusual a name. There was a famous filmmaker, Billy Wilder, an actor named Gene Wilder, an author named Laura Ingalls Wilder... And that's just the famous ones which come to mind immediately.
only in a few cases, and those are generally when a name has become "altered" after immigration to the US.
The social security death index included over 11,000 persons with the name. Those are just those who have died in the US since about 1960ish. It really isn't a rare name at all.
No its not true, just because people have the same surname doesn't make them related at all...even rare names http://familytimeline.webs.com/originsof鈥?/a>
No.
It could easily be pure coincidence

Are there any living/traceable descendants of Alexander The Great?
-No. Alexander apparently had two sons, Alexander IV of Macedon of Roxana and, possibly, Heracles of Macedon from his mistress Barsine; and lost another child when Roxana miscarried at Babylon. In 309 BC Cassander commanded Glaucias to secretly assassinate the 13-year old Alexander IV and his mother. The orders were carried out, and they were both poisoned. THe parentage of Heracles was never fully established and he too was poisoned by Cassander when he was 18 in 309.

As part of a stunning new homegrown ideology of history and identity based on Alexander the Great, this capital city's main square may soon boast a huge new statue of the ancient conqueror.
Two years ago, the national airport was renamed after Alexander, infuriating Greece.
In January, despite a recent Greek nixing of Macedonia's NATO bid over the airport name, the ruling nationalists here changed the name of its main roadway to Alexander of Macedon Highway.
In Macedonia, it is becoming all Alexander the Great, all the time. Ahead of Sunday's presidential elections, the ruling party's Alexander ideology is seen as fantastic, even by Balkan standards.
In an intense media campaign, locals are told that ethnic Macedonians are the proud direct descendants of Alexander, and thus a people responsible for spawning the white race of planet Earth, from the Caucasus "to the seas off Japan," according to a public service spot on national TV.
The "Alexander-mania," as critics call it, is partly a vote-getting strategy by the ruling party, known by its initials VMRO. Doubts exist as to whether party leaders actually believe the claims, but they are being sold as truth. The failure last spring to get a clear NATO invitation prompted fury in Skopje, and the Alexander campaign is seen as an effort to up the ante.
By pushing its thumb further into the already sore eye of Greece, both NATO and EU membership for the small, landlocked state remains in limbo. Macedonia is also distracted from reducing tensions with its sizable Albanian minority community following a brief ethnic war in 2001, diplomats say.

I think Alexander's line was broken, I think Perdiccas killed his son, also called Alexander; so no I don't think so.

Did Native Americans ever lists themselves as "white" in 19th century census records?
-An aunt of mine just recently found some information in a family Bible that listed one of my great-something grandmothers as being an Osage Native American. I was able to locate this woman in a 1880 census record, but she is listed as being W (white) instead of I (Indian). Do I have the wrong person (every other fact matches up), or was this common back then? Why would she have listed herself as being white if she really was a Native American? Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!It was very common for Indians who lived in predominately white communities rather than tribal areas to be listed as white. The enumerators often did not even ask about race in a mixed family, but marked people as white unless it was brought to their attention that they were Indians.
I have been researching and teaching genealogy for many years and have seen many examples of families trying to prove their tribal affiliation and being unable to get past the misinformation on original census records.
You may find tribal records to affirm the connection. The tribal office address is

Here is a link that might help you.Listing yourself as Native American (Indian) could have dire consequences at that time. No one wants to volunteer for forced hunger, poverty, torture, death, loss of freedoms and rights, relocation and reservations, forced labor, and/or having your children taken and shoved into boarding schools where their culture was stolen through brute force. The government did these things, and the census is a government document.
Also, by that time (about 200 years of contact) many Native Americans had assimilated into white culture. The notation in the Bible may be family legend or oral history. It may be true, it may not.
Depends where you were.
In the Deep South, Natives were listed as Blacks, which is barely coming to light.
If they were citizens (which meant they were completely stripped of tribal identity) then they would be listed as white.
Other times, we were not citizens (which meant they resided on the reservation) then we were counted as Indians.
Some old New England church records before America was established listed marriages as "savage" like So and So's name married to savage, things like that.
Yes. I live in Georgia and one side of my family did this for safety. During the round up for the Trail of Tears my family fled into what is known as Black Lake Swamp in central Georgia and hide from soldiers. When they felt they could leave the swamp safely they went back to white friends who gave them land and helped them back onto their feet. After that they always listed themselves as white but were actually Yuchi.
My great great grandfather would have been accepted as a member of the Cherokee yet the 1880 census lists him as white. edit: And I am talking "the Deep South" Mississippi.
Of course we told anyone connected with the Government that we were anything except "Indian" or Native American...We had to hide in plain sight to survive....
The census is notorious for errors.
At the same time, family Bibles are NOT always primary records made at the time of someone's birth. It is not unheard of for persons to buy a Bible, and enter what they know (or were told) of their family history. Entries in Bibles, made at the time an event happened, are normally going to have the name and date of events...but I have never ever heard of a family member making notation that a child was of any race. Prior to the mid 1900s, being Indian was a source of stigma, and Native American is a relatively new term. Is the Bible intact? is there a publication date?
I would be skeptical of the Bible entry if that is what it said, in that manner. You should continue to be working her parents lines, and see where those lead you, and what is known about them. I HAVE confirmed one ancestor to be Cherokee by the fact of her known sister being shown in a 1850 census as being Indian (while the ancestor married "white").
Attitudes have changed about NA and if then someone 'looked' white they could have said they were white as it was easier for them to be white then....there are errors on census, they are generated by humans and humans make errors, the enumerators also guessed, were given information by neighbours, children of the family and some presumed the information that was written, which is why you get hold of and view all documents/records you can for each person you are researching.
A family Bible is a primary document...which is a document written at the time or very near to the time of the event and a primary document is far more reliable than a census return. The person who wrote in the Bible would be someone who knew your direct ancestor, possibly her own mother, father or grandmother...as even what we think of as the 'original' census returns these are transcribed documents written up from the forms filled in at the doors...once they get online they could have been transcribed several times and by several different people...each one with risk of human error.

No one wants to volunteer for forced hunger, poverty, torture, death, loss of freedoms and rights, relocation and reservations, forced labor, and/or having your children taken and shoved into boarding schools where their culture was stolen through brute force. The government did these things, and the census is a government document.
Also, by that time (about 200 years of contact) many Native Americans had assimilated into white culture. The notation in the Bible may be family legend or oral history. It may be true, it may not.
Depends where you were.
In the Deep South, Natives were listed as Blacks, which is barely coming to light.
If they were citizens (which meant they were completely stripped of tribal identity) then they would be listed as white.
Other times, we were not citizens (which meant they resided on the reservation) then we were counted as Indians.
Some old New England church records before America was established listed marriages as "savage" like So and So's name married to savage, things like that.
Yes. I live in Georgia and one side of my family did this for safety. During the round up for the Trail of Tears my family fled into what is known as Black Lake Swamp in central Georgia and hide from soldiers. When they felt they could leave the swamp safely they went back to white friends who gave them land and helped them back onto their feet. After that they always listed themselves as white but were actually Yuchi.
My great great grandfather would have been accepted as a member of the Cherokee yet the 1880 census lists him as white. edit: And I am talking "the Deep South" Mississippi.
Of course we told anyone connected with the Government that we were anything except "Indian" or Native American...We had to hide in plain sight to survive....
The census is notorious for errors.
At the same time, family Bibles are NOT always primary records made at the time of someone's birth. It is not unheard of for persons to buy a Bible, and enter what they know (or were told) of their family history. Entries in Bibles, made at the time an event happened, are normally going to have the name and date of events...but I have never ever heard of a family member making notation that a child was of any race. Prior to the mid 1900s, being Indian was a source of stigma, and Native American is a relatively new term. Is the Bible intact? is there a publication date?
I would be skeptical of the Bible entry if that is what it said, in that manner. You should continue to be working her parents lines, and see where those lead you, and what is known about them. I HAVE confirmed one ancestor to be Cherokee by the fact of her known sister being shown in a 1850 census as being Indian (while the ancestor married "white").
Attitudes have changed about NA and if then someone 'looked' white they could have said they were white as it was easier for them to be white then....there are errors on census, they are generated by humans and humans make errors, the enumerators also guessed, were given information by neighbours, children of the family and some presumed the information that was written, which is why you get hold of and view all documents/records you can for each person you are researching.
A family Bible is a primary document...which is a document written at the time or very near to the time of the event and a primary document is far more reliable than a census return. The person who wrote in the Bible would be someone who knew your direct ancestor, possibly her own mother, father or grandmother...as even what we think of as the 'original' census returns these are transcribed documents written up from the forms filled in at the doors...once they get online they could have been transcribed several times and by several different people...each one with risk of human error.
