Default What's in a name?

Don't know if this is the right forum for it, but this is an interesting link, nonetheless...

Want to look up the development of a family name in the US?

Here it is...

Try googling your last name. I found a website that a distant relative put together about our family's history.

My mom's maiden name is the only family with that name in the entire country. The rest of the family's name got changes through immigration so we may never be able to find them all, especially as the older generation passes.
