Hi Melissa, Tuesday, August 22, 2000, 3:32:44 AM, you wrote: Fac> I was told that the Scofield name originally came from England and the name Fac> was Schofield then. This is true, Cottle's Surnames gives the meaning as *dweller in a hut by a field*, and says that it is most common in West Yorkshire and Lancashire. There are several variations, Scofield, Scofield, Scholefield and Scholfield being some of them. -- Cheers, Anne ICQ# 32010967 (nickie) mailto:[email protected] Rootsweb ListOwner: Docwra, Dockery, Garton, Hampson and Schofield
