It's interesting to watch surnames come and go. I have some names in my ancestry that seem to be quite unusual now, but were evidently more prevalent in prior ages. Interesting to watch the ebb and flow of family lines.<br /><br />Hopefully, Wendy, you will gain some breakthroughs for your difficult surname quest.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-1919908341110773962013-10-28T09:56:21.226-07:002013-10-28T09:56:21.226-07:00Odd that Grace and Fred are listed in the City Dir...Odd that Grace and Fred are listed in the City Directory for Fort Wayne in 1940 but not in the census.

Daughtering out can explain why there are so few people with the surname that consumes most of my research time.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-62923244341828986822013-10-27T21:43:52.417-07:002013-10-27T21:43:52.417-07:00I guess when the landed gentry produced no sons, i...I guess when the landed gentry produced no sons, it was a big deal. "Daughtered out" is how some genealogists put it now. As for the rest of us, whether daughters or sons, they bring joy and delight.
