Hi Folks my mum was given her 'real' fathers name as a middle name, she never knew him and to me it seems pointless. It is no good for those of us doing our family tree, there is no way you can contact a family whose deceased relative fits the bill and ask for information about them, so you're stuck.

Hello everyone, I thought the middle name (someone's last name) was to honor the godfather or grandparent....I am having the same problem of an ancestor b. 1827, but in Scotland, and searching for him in Northumbria (marriage, UK Merchant's Navy Seaman Records, deaths, etc.).  I have an idea that he may have kept the last name and changed the middle name, or not have a middle name.  Which makes it a real challenge.  Susan   ________________________________ From: Alan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [NMB] Naming the culprit?
