Hi I'm new to this list, but not to rootsweb. This is a shot in the dark, so please redirect me as necessary. My grandfather had the middle name OMER, which he inherited from his maternal grandfather, one John Omer ROGERS, who produced several children in Grahamstown, South Africa from 1869 to about 1892. I know no more about John Omer, except that family hearsay vaguely suggests he and Ann(a) Maria were married in the UK before emigrating to SA. It has been suggested to me that OMER is/was an uncommon Scottish surname and that ROGERS also occurs there. Could anyone enlighten me as to the accuracy of this, and perhaps direct me to somewhere to further my research?? Many thanks Maureen Branson Bundaberg, Australia
