| Question: How many white people have hidden non-white Ancestry? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 06:29 PM PDT Who knows and realistically who cares! People who research their ancestry are interested in who their ancestors were, what they did and where they lived, who they married and what children they had, not about skin shades........our ancestors are our ancestors that doesn't change and few countries in the World write on records what race someone was/is...so this is a question I can assume for the USA and Americans as they have always liked to racially classify everyone |
| Question: Is this the same person? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 03:02 PM PDT I don't think it's the same person. For one thing, your Creasy *always* lists her birthplace as Arkansas, on every census. It's pretty common to see an occasional mistake, but it's kind of unusual to see the same mistake made on every census. If your Creasy was really born in Alabama, you'd think that would show up on at least one of her records. Unless she moved from Alabama as an infant and had no recollection of it. But I don't think that happened, because... The Mays family in Alabama in 1880 is still there in Mount Andrew, Barbour County, Alabama in 1900. Father William, mother Mariah, and most of their kids. It's certainly possible that their daughter Creasy could have packed up and headed to Arkansas by herself as a teenager, but that would be rather unusual. And apparently that didn't happen. Because also on the 1900 census in Mount Andrew, Alabama is a Creasy Walker, age 26, wife of Neaser Walker, living not too far from William & Mariah Mays. This Creasy died in Barbour County, Alabama in 1954 and her death certificate lists her father as Bill Mays: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J6... So the Creasy Mays in Alabama is not your girl. Back to the drawing board! Did you order the death certificate for the Cressie Smith who died 6 Oct 1941 in Monroe, County, Arkansas? If not, you should, so you can see if it lists her parents names. Here's the order form again: |
| Question: Is this an English surname or of a different origin? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 02:08 PM PDT Both. Arendall Name Meaning 2) Respelling of a western Swedish habitational name, Arendal, composed of an unexplained first element + dal 'valley'. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press > Someone asked me what "nationality" it was and I didn't know what to say... If you know that surnames don't have nationalities, you DO know more than they do, but they resent it. |
| Question: Do I have any titles? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 09:18 AM PDT No. If you did you'd have known it since roughly age 4, when you could speak in complete sentences. Plus, your claim is suspect. You probably believed some family tree you found on Ancestry.com or in the swamp of LDS AF, instead of doing 40 years of research. Alfonso died in 1185, 830 years ago. That's a LONG time, and most of the records have been lost. I see from your other questions that you are still innocent. I do not mean to insult you, but you should be careful about believing everything you read on the Internet. If you don't, sooner or later you'll waste money on magic diet pills, or "family" coats of arms, or someone in the Nigerian Ministry of Oil who wants you to help him spirit a chest full of money out of his country. |
| Question: What nationality is the surname Domina? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 06:22 AM PDT Domina Name Meaning Czech, Slovak, and Polish: from the personal name Dominik, a vernacular form of Late Latin Dominicus (see Dominick). Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press Please don't forget to choose a best answer. It doesn't have to be mine. 10 points aren't much, but they tell us you read the answers and we didn't flush 8 minutes of research and/or typing down the toilet. |
