I have a non-paternity event in 1850s England and the surname thing threw me because it is akin to chasing female surnames in a patriarchal society - it kept changing. Now I know how to ask the intelligent question - where were they from? In fact I have done that a little, in frustration at what I thought was a difficult system to follow... Thanks again.<br />Could I assume the Swediah and Danish systems are similar?Shay123https://www.blogger.com/profile/11615188231831277308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-51465383918977610192020-04-08T17:58:15.792+02:002020-04-08T17:58:15.792+02:00Is a child named "Aschaud" male or femal...Is a child named "Aschaud" male or female?<br />Bryan Gerritsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039512977406120103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-28492391066149269642018-08-01T22:23:21.092+02:002018-08-01T22:23:21.092+02:00I have a Guniborg Guulson, would that be a male or...I have a Guniborg Guulson, would that be a male or female<br /><br /><br /><br />Elder and Sister Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240084454479354652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-58884621864553995042018-05-07T01:00:10.245+02:002018-05-07T01:00:10.245+02:00Arvegods, do you have any first name etymological ...Arvegods, do you have any first name etymological dictionaries that you would recommend?Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825651185783543462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-69421565136371716082018-05-07T00:26:00.385+02:002018-05-07T00:26:00.385+02:00I think that last name looks like Evenson. It'...I think that last name looks like Evenson. It's definitely not Erenson, the rs in married and Norway are made differently.<br /><br />It's possible the spouse spelled the name correctly. It wasn't uncommon to "Americanize" names after immigrating. My great-grandma's Norwegian surname was Americanized to Hendrickson, her father-in-law's (my gg grandpa) Norwegian name of Johannes to John, and 2 of John's sister's names were also Americanized (Sigri to Sarah and Metha/Metta to Martha.)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825651185783543462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-70988033511514002902018-05-07T00:25:35.151+02:002018-05-07T00:25:35.151+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825651185783543462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029476520004833227.post-75684205658668617772018-03-27T07:26:46.774+02:002018-03-27T07:26:46.774+02:00I'm having some trouble transcribing the patro...I'm having some trouble transcribing the patronymic name of an Norwegian ancestor I've located in the United States. The handwriting on their death certificate reads "Emerson" or "Erenson" or "Enerson". It seems in the modern era (2015) that Enersen is the only logical match using the the data at the link below. I don't trust the spelling at all because the spouse who filled out the death certificate was not Norwegian and the "sen" suffix is more likely than "son".<br /><br />Would you be willing to give me your opinion? You can email me at brianpatrickross [/\] gmail [/\] com.<br /><br />You can also read the death cert yourself at the 2nd link below.<br /><br />https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/statistikker/navn/aar/2016-01-26?fane=tabell&sort=nummer&tabell=253541<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UvTj3ygVNjQmigPBk-ikYXt-VCqmSPfL/view?usp=sharing<br /><br />Thank you in advance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151286265338784000noreply@blogger.com
