| Question: Can you change your last name? Posted: 03 Oct 2016 05:00 PM PDT My last name is from a side of my family I wasn't raised around and I never knew. I was raised by my grandmother who was divorced and took back her maiden name, and my mother married my step dad and took his last name, so I don't share a name with the family I know. Is legal for me to change my list name to share with my grandmother? |
| Question: Last name origin is what? Posted: 03 Oct 2016 03:32 PM PDT Surnames do not tell a person their origins. The Africans brought over and made slaves did not have surnames. The Indigenous people of he Americas did not have surnames. From the standpoint of recorded history they were fairly new for Europeans and when they were started in Europe it wasn't to identify a man as a member of a family necessarily but to better identify him on records. When the slaves were freed they took a surname which all too often was the name of their former owner or someone they admired. The lands the Spanish conquered the missionaries conveyed Christian given names on the Indigenous people and Spanish surnames when they baptized them.. In Europe they started the first part of the last millennium but it wasn't until 1811 when the Emperor Napoleon decreed everyone should have a surname that the people of the Netherlands and the low countries of Europe as a rule took a surname. So the freed African slaves were only about 50 years behind the Dutch in getting one and the Indigenous people the Spanish missionaries baptized had one before the Dutch. - Most African Americans have English names as people of English ancestry in the American colonies are the one that had slaves. Where I live in Texas about 30 miles from Lake Charles, Louisiana a lot of the African Americans have French names as France ruled Louisiana and sometimes part of Texas. So they don't prove ancestry at all. You call it a last name and many people do but they started in the Far East and there they are a first name. Mao Tse-tung surname or family name was Mao and Tse-tung was his given name. |

| Question: Family tree question? Posted: 03 Oct 2016 01:10 PM PDT Is your aunt from the same side of the family as your 2nd cousin? You see you have relatives on your father's side and relatives on your mother's and they usually aren't related to each other. I understood when I was very young that my cousins had cousins, aunts and uncles that weren't my cousins, aunts and uncles and I had cousins, aunts and uncles that weren't my cousins' cousins, aunts and uncles. I had an Aunt Maggie and she was my mother's sister. She was married to Uncle Peewee(the moniker fit) and he was only my uncle by marriage and the only family of his that were related to me were the children he had by Aunt Maggie. Their children had cousins who were the children of Uncle Peewee's sister and brothers and those children were not related to me. |
