Why are birth records of the deceased still protected even after they're dead it makes no sense?!!!!!!!!!!!?? Because I'm an amateur genealogist and even dead persons birth certificate is still protected, Why is it, I don't intend to use it for anything other than research, are birth records of the deceased supposed to be public information or not, I'm trying to do a family tree but you have to be a descendant or law enforcement to request their information not a possible cousin even you can't get their birth records which usually has the deceased parents name on it. Why why why why do you have to be a descendants of the deceased person you're looking up or a law enforcement.

You can't really make assumptions based on just a name, if you really wan't to know where your ancestors come from you have to research them individually.

Anderson Name
Meaning Scottish and northern English: very common patronymic from the personal name Ander(s), a northern Middle English form of Andrew. See also Andreas. The frequency of the surname in Scotland is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, so the personal name has long enjoyed great popularity there. Legend has it that the saint's relics were taken to Scotland in the 4th century by a certain St. Regulus. The surname was brought independently to North America by many different bearers and was particularly common among 18th-century Scotch-Irish settlers in PA and VA. In the United States, it has absorbed many cognate or like-sounding names in other European languages, notably Swedish Andersson, Norwegian and Danish Andersen, but also Ukrainian Andreychyn, Hungarian Andrásfi, etc.

Here is the meaning and origin:

Casto Name Meaning
1) from the Latin personal name Castus 'chaste'.
2) nickname from casto 'chaste', 'pure'.

But, only research will tell you where your family came from. Most of Europe spoke Latin at one time.

Surname meanings and origins are just clues, nothing more. Many African-Americans, for instance, have English surnames even though their heritage is African.

Great great grandmother = 1/1 colored (born 1875)
Great grandparent = 1/2 colored (born 1905)
grandparent = 1/4 colored (born 1935)
parent = 1/8 colored (born 1965)
you = 1/16 colored (born 1995)

This assumes none of your other GG grandparents were colored, and that your GGM was 100% colored. That last may not be true; an awful lot of African-Americans have some European blood, the result of white slave owners having sex with their black slaves. A rare few have it as the result of white slave-owning men's wives wanting a taste of the forbidden fruit, so to speak. "Bearing a mulatto child" was the leading reason for divorce, back when divorces were hard to get and women had to suffer in silence with husbands who were abusive or drunken or both.

I went back and estimated your birth year, then the birth years of each person. Most people have most of their children between the ages of 20 and 40, so I used 30 as an average. If I'm anywhere close, your GGM's parents, born 1845, were slaves.

We get this question, with different countries, pretty constantly:

I was born in country A, but my family was in country B for 37 generations. Am I Aayish or Beeish?

Here's my standard answer. Adjust that last paragraph for sex, marital status and sexual orientation as you will.

It really depends on who is asking and why.

In general, you're an Aayish citizen of Beeish heritage.

If it's a passport control officer, you're "A"

If a friend comes over for dinner and asks why your mom's {insert ethnic dish here} is better than any he's ever eaten, it's because your family is "B".

If you meet a young woman with flashing dark eyes and a dimple who asks you about your heritage, tell her it's complicated and you'd love to tell her about it over a cup of coffee - and to ask about hers.

there are no tribes living there at this time. If her ancestry includes Reyes, then she may have been descended from one of the area tribes from the 1700s/ early 1800s.

At the time of the first Spanish explorers, Von Ormy was inhabited by clans of the Payaya and Pastia Indian Confederations. These native peoples lived in seasonal encampments known as "rancherias" on the tributaries and banks of the Medina River, which in the Payaya language was termed "Panapay". The migratory pattern for these early residents included an annual journey south to the Nueces River for the annual cactus tuna harvest. At these annual gatherings that clans exchanged goods, marriage partners and news. The earliest Spanish missionary activity targeted the Payaya Confederation, for whom the Alamo was built in 1719. Mission San Jose was built for the Pastia Confederation in 1721.

as in any genealogy, there would need to be documentation. Some of the earliest Hispanic families are documented.
