It is correct that there is a farm Hoston in Orkdal (and, I think, one or two more in Norway). However, the original poster believed that this forefather came from Norway to England in the 1400s. First, it is not likely that he kept the farm name as a surname when going abroad. (Surnames was not established in Norway in the 1400s). Second, the name "Hoston" in Norway probably did not have this form in the 1400s. I also suspect that the english pronunciation of "Whoston" has changed since then. Thirdly, it is not obvious that "whoston" is a possible english expression of the norwegian pronunciation of Hoston. I suggest you keep the -ton theory, and that Joe search for his Whoston forefather in England. Ivar S. Ertesvåg

Just a wild guess, but there is a place not far from Trondheim in Norway called Hoston. Spoken by a norwegian this would sound allmost exactly like whoston in english. Hoston however is a bit inland which makes it less probable that someone from there would become a fisherman, not impossible though.

Thank you all for your time researching and replying to my post. The family listed is the one I am researching. Does anyone have any information about Jens Morten b.
