Hi Brian, You're right - it is a stupid question - of sorts. Why does anybody do anything? Many one namers got started because they hit a brick wall with their own family. Doing a one name study, especially on an unusual or uncommon name can open lots of research doors & very often lead you to the ancestors you couldn't find in the first place. Even if it doesn't, it's great fun and very interesting. After all, most of us do family history because we like doing it, not just for a long list of names taking us back to Adam. Ultimately, a one name study, properly researched, sourced and published, will be a great asset to the family history community as a whole and will be just one more tool for people to use in their own research if their name of interest happens to be included in one of these studies. Regards Lesley Baxendale Colwyn Bay (who won't be undertaking any one name studies just yet - most of my family names are far too common!)
