What is the Association?
We are a volunteer organization of individuals interested in the family history of our surnames. We believe that by working together and sharing our results, we can achieve more than working alone.
In additon, one of our members is conducting a One Name Study for the above surnames. The objective of a One Name Study is to research and record all occurrences of the surnames and possible variants, for all time periods, world wide.
It is not necessary for you to join the association to receive help from us, but your contribution and working with us will benefit everyone. We hope that you will join the organization, and share your research.
There are no dues. Donations are welcome to support expenses and research projects.
