Not everyone, but most everyone, knows or knew their grandparents, your mom and dad’s parents. But did you realize that you had more than 10 sets of grandparents? If so, do you know who they were?
As you can see I still do not know who all of my grandparents were but that is why I am still researching in my spare time. I would like to know all of their names, where they came from and all about their lives.
I have some Surnames that are in both my paternal and maternal family trees but have not yet linked them together and do not know, as of yet, if they do link together.
Below is the list of surnames that you will find on this website and the names of my Grandparents that the surname was derived from. These individuals are the ancestors that I am derived from.
Each set of grandparents listed under the same surname is a different generation, with the youngest generation being the first set of names.
There would be more surnames listed but as you can see, as you read the list, some of my grandmothers have missing surnames because I have not found them in my research yet.
