| Question: Does this have anything to connect to cordell or cordle geneology? Posted: 08 Apr 2015 03:34 PM PDT + You got great answers from 2 trustworthy researchers. Understand this about surnames. When they were taken in Europe during the last millennium, it wasn't to identify a man as a member of a family. There were too many men with the same given name in the same town or village and they just had to have a better way to sort them out on records, frequently for taxation purposes. When they got through legitimate sons of the same man could have wound up with a different surname and still each could have shared his with others with no known relationship. So don't expect to share ancestry with everyone with your surname. You want to start with yourself and go back one generation at a time, documenting everything as you do. If you look in the resolved questions such as "how to find my family history" or something like that you see a lot of good answers as Ted suggested. Here is what Ancestry.com has about Cordle Cordle Name Meaning English: variant spelling of Cordell.Possibly an Americanized spelling of German Kördel, a pet form of an old German personal name, formed with kuoni 'daring'. Compare Conrad. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press Here is what they have about Cordell: Cordell Name Meaning English: occupational name for a maker of cord or string or a nickname for an habitual wearer of decorative ties and ribbons, from a diminutive of Old French corde 'rope' (see Cordes).Americanized spelling of German Kardel (see Kardell). Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press Anytime you spend time tracing a name you will get into a lot of useless information. Your ancestor with particular surnames had a history, not the surname itself despite the numerous surname product peddlers who want you to think they do so you will buy some of their products. |
| Question: Did ciecly plantagent have a son named robert welles? Posted: 08 Apr 2015 02:29 PM PDT Adam, don't accept what you see in family trees as fact without verifying with actual records on Ancestry.Com or ANY website. The trees are submitted by the subscribers to the website not some experts who go around willy nilly doing the family history of others. Even when you see the absolute same information on the same people from a ton of other subscribers that doesn't mean it is accurate as too many people copy without verifying. Am I saying the websites do not verify the information their subscribers submit? Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. It would cost them a fortune to hire people to verify the information in the family trees that are submitted. Ancestry.Com is a good site for records but don't view family trees as records. Ancestry.Coms ads are definitely misleading. |
| Question: Surname origins GILLETT? Posted: 08 Apr 2015 12:50 AM PDT It is from the personal name Giles, Julian or William. Surnames from those can be "Gill(i)att", "Gillyatt", "Gillot(t)", "Gillyett", "Gilyot(t)", "Jillett" and "Jellett", among others. The name Giles is derived from the Greek language word "aigidion", meaning kid, variants of that "Gillet" and "Gillot" were used in French language and Old English So the 'origin' is language heard, spoken or which influenced people in various countries taking a name some 900 years ago, what it NEVER tells you is where your ancestors came from EVER for that you have to research the peoples records in your own ancestry |
| Question: Is your 2nd cousin's 2nd cousin your 4th cousin, or what? Posted: 07 Apr 2015 09:51 PM PDT Some of your 2nd cousin's 2nd cousins would be your siblings -- your brothers and sisters, and of course, you are your 2nd cousin's 2nd cousin. Some of your 2nd cousin's 2nd cousins are not related to you at all. To be related to someone (for genealogical purposes) you and that someone have to have some ancestor in common. (In some social systems and traditions relatedness may be stricter or looser, but we are talking genealogy here.) Your common ancestors with a second cousin are a pair of great grandparents. Among their children are one of your grandparents and one of your second cousin's grandparents. One of your parents is the first cousin of one of your second cousin's parents. Your child and your second cousin's child will be third cousins, and their children will be fourth cousins. In other words, the children of the common ancestors are siblings. The children of the siblings are first cousins. The children of the first cousins are second cousins. The children of the second cousins are third cousins, and so forth. However in most families you will have a parent who is not first cousins with either of your second cousin's parents, and your second cousin will have a parent who is not first cousins with either of your parents. Through those lines you may have 2nd cousins who are not related to the second cousin you are talking about, and the second cousin you are talking about may have 2nd cousins who are not related to you. |
