Hello, list -- This is in response to the query from Martha <martha_a_mitchell@yahoo.com> on 14 Aug re: CUZNER. The 1999 GRD lists someone living in England who is doing a One Name Study of CUZNER. It might be worthwhile contacting him to see if he has info, particularly about the origins of this name. He is Roger Evans and, unfortunately, there is no e-mail listed. But his address is Chez Nous, 19 South View Road, Long Lawford, WAR (ie. Warwickshire) CV23 9BP. Hmmmm....could the "Chez Nous" in his address be a clue or just coincidence?? The listing states that he is interested in all variants, worldwide, "details sought and information shared". Martha, I think your theory that CUZNER could be a corruption of something like COUSINIER sounds plausible. Good luck. Andrea (on Vancouver Island, off the coast of western Canada, where it's also "moisty" after a grand total of about three weeks of wonderful summer weather.)
