Surname Fascination

Posted on June 8, 2018 by Julie Goucher

A few days ago, there was a fascinating discussion on the Family Tree Magazine (UK)  Academy Facebook group about surnames and asked the question, how many different surnames had readers come across?

Anyone who has been reading this site for a while will know I have a bit of a “thing” about surnames, after all we all have one!

Like the folk at Family Tree I devised a graphic, but I opted to create two, this first one representing some of my maternal & British side.

and this second one representing my paternal and Sicilian side.

Do we share any surnames? If we do please leave a comment below.
