Author: robertmc134 Surnames: Lawson, Lassen Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/6728.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have many Lawsons in my data base, mostly in New York State including NYC and they go back 1659. Their origin was Denmark and that area is now part of Germany. I don't find any John Lawsons that match your information and wonder if you any earlier data that might ties into my info. The original spelling of my line was probably Lassen although there are other versions. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
