SOME OF OUR SURNAMES

ARE AS OLD AS THE HILLS

Adam and Eve didn't have a surname. As the population of our earth multiplied, many people had the same given name, so last names were assigned. They are called "surnames."

Mr. Webster, author of the wonderful book called a Dictionary, described the word surname:

A family name

A name attached to a person at birth

A name by reason of occupation, residence

or place of birth developing into a family name

Some of the immigrants shortened or changed their names or spelling of the name when they came to America. Our Dragoo name is a good example of variants. In America it is spelled Dragoo, Draggoo, Dragoe, Drageau and Dragaud. In France and England it was spelled Dragaud and occassionally written as Dragauld.

The CARR surname is English and Scottish. In some instances it is spelled KARR or KERR.

Our PARKER surname has been identified as "keeper of the parks."

Most NELSON surnames are Swedish or Norwegian and usually mean son of Nels. My HENSON ancestry may also be from Sweeden or Norway.

The ROSS surname has origins going back to the beginning of America.

The HUSSONG families are said to be German and may also descend from the French surname de Husson.

Some of our surnames are difficult to determine their meanings, such as SCURLOCK and PAUL.

Our surname discovered in 2006 of BITTICK

is challenging. You can read more about them

on the link to "Show Me the Bitticks."

Genealogy Reports of my CARR & DRAGOO families and other related surnames are on my LINKS page and the Vi Parsons Family Tree Maker. Updating that portion of my genealogy work is slated for "Projects for later on in 2009."

Major surnames are

CARR & DRAGOO

John & Nancy (Dragoo) Carr

Married 31 December 1912 in Jay, Oklahoma

The DRAGOO & CARR families

consist of many surnames.

Some of our families had more than one spouse.

Collateral lines of siblings and step families are included,

because they all lead back to a direct line ancestor.
