Hello All,
ever thought what your surname really means ??
The 'Germans' are here way ahead of us and they started
collecting all kinds of information about surnames.
So far they have listed about 1900 surnames and they tell us
what the name actually means, where it came from and all kinds of
name- variations. In addition, they show famous persons with
that name, and the physical distribution of that surname
in Germany and a lot of other information..
Take a look here:

Well, actually, we have that some kind of set-up:
http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/wiki/Category:Surname
and already "ELEVEN" surnames listed... :-((
What about getting your surname listed too ???
It's REALLY EASY to get started with the WIKI:

Have a nice afternoon, wherever you are....
