| Question: What part of Ireland does the Lockwood family come from? Posted: 14 Nov 2016 02:39 PM PST This is what the Dictionary of American Family Names has Lockwood Name Meaning English: habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire, probably named in Old English as 'enclosed wood', from loc(a) 'enclosure' (see Lock) + wudu 'wood'. It seems likely that all present-day bearers of the name descend from a single family which originated in this place. There is another place of the same name in Cleveland, first recorded in 1273 as Locwyt, from Old English loc(a) + Old Norse viðr 'wood', 'brake', but it is not clear whether it has given rise to a surname. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press This doesn't mean your ancestry can't be largely Irish. Understand you got your surname from only one person in each generation you go back. Your ancestry doubles each generation you go back. Get back to your 32 great great great grandparents and probably only one of them was a Lockwood. |

| Question: Family Tree Question? Posted: 14 Nov 2016 01:06 PM PST No. You need a common ancestor to be related by blood. You and child #1 have a common ancestor - your father. Hypothetical child #2, by the first woman, would have no relation to you. If, to follow the most extreme example I can think of, your mom died, deserted or divorced, your dad went back to woman #1, and he got custody of you, and between the time your mom D, D or D woman #1 had this hypothetical child, but then decided your dad was the one for her, woman #1 would become your step-mother and her child your step-brother or step-sister. That's a relation, but not a "blood" relation. |
| Question: What is this Puerto Rican 1940 census telling me? Posted: 14 Nov 2016 12:33 PM PST In many Spanish-speaking cultures, people use two surnames: their father's surname first, followed by their mother's maiden surname. For instance, when Enrique Hernandez marries Rosa Sanchez, their daughter Maria will be known as Maria Hernandez y Sanchez. As you probably know, "y" is the Spanish word for "and." So it's the same as calling someone "Mary Johnson and Smith" -- Mary's father is a Johnson, and her mother was born a Smith. Sometimes the y is left out (its use is sort of formal and old-fashioned), and the name is just written Maria Hernandez Sanchez. Either way, this system is very convenient for genealogists, because it shows us the mother's maiden name. In your family's case, we have the father: The mother: The children go by Lopez Garcia - their father is the Lopez, mother is Garcia To make things a little confusing: when a woman marries, she usually drops her mother's maiden name and adds her husband's. Example: when Maria Hernandez Sanchez marries Julio Lopez Rodriguez, she becomes Maria Hernandez de Lopez (the "de" meaning "of", as in "wife of Lopez"). Sometimes the "de" is left off, and it's just Maria Hernandez Lopez. And the fact that some surnames AND given names include a "De" can make things pretty confusing. In the case of your Daniela, it appears that her middle name is De Lourdes. In the case of Adela Ana Garcia de Martinez, it's hard to tell whether she was married to a Martinez, or if her mother's maiden name was De Martiniez. If she is the wife of Miguel, you'd expect she'd have a Lopez in her name. But without seeing the record, it's hard to guess. |
