Hello Listers - I had written asking if anyone had a book about English names similar to Seary`s in Nfld I guess its one of those that got lost. I have looked for some English names in Seary`s , Howards and Crosbies,in Nfld but am interested in the name of GLAZEBROOK and GOAT neither of which were in any of their books. The following was found for EVANS and if anyone is interested I have similar type of information on the name CREW(E). Regards Joyce There was nothing in Seary's book of Nfld for the surname Goat but the following is what there was for the surname Evans.EVANS, a surname of Wales, England and Ireland, from one of the Welsh forms of John - son of John,or sometimes from the Romano-British personal name Eugenius - well-born; in Ireland also an anglicized form of the rare O h Eimhin, in Ormond, derived from a word meaning swift.
