I think we broke it.

They almost tricked me. It says "Hire an expert" in the top right corner. I read "Hire an escort" and was eager to give them my details. Bastards!

Wrong site Greg.

Where does you surname originate from?:

^ Just fill in the above black with your last name, between the back slash and the hyphen and make sure everything is connected.

Mine has three origins: Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. :hatsoff:

I don't know her maiden name.

Cut and copy from the right side (from the end of ashx) to "http." Then paste in browser and put your name in between the back slash of "facts" and hyphen of "family." Hit enter.

This site works in a pinch.

It worked better than the original link for me. It turns out my name is from England, Ireland, Great Britain, Scotland, Germany, and American Samoa?!? :wtf:

 

[JacknCoke]

hmmm I think I am an Alien I get an error when I click on the link...

Edit: I tried the second link and I get first name "a gift form god" and last name "valley or deep"

soo uhhhh...???

 

[Elwood70]

Neither one worked for me,but my surname is so fuckin' obvious it's not even funny so it's a moot point.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

and American Samoa?!? :wtf:

That just means that people born there (in Samoa) got the name. It does not mean that's where you're from. It traces the origins of ALL our names to the various places and then it is our duty to confirm what our background is. I thought the site made sense, but apparently people are having problems with it :dunno:

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Anyone else?

 

[BlueBalls]

Irish with slight anglicisation over time

 

[Skyraider22]

Link does not work but it is :thumbsup:German

 

[StanScratch]

Scottish and northern English on my dad's side; English, northern Irish and Scottish on my mom's side.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

That is a fascinating link!
I put in my Mom's family name, and sure enough it came back correctly...and I read some threads from others who had the same origin and were looking for long lost relatives.
My Mom's name is not common, and I am probably related to some of those people from that site.
We are, both sides of my family, nearly 100% Russian. One Dutch ancestor which is pretty cool.

Been lookin' around on that board and there are a lot of folks on there getting in touch. Man the world is getting smaller and smaller.
