What you say is relevant though....I do know some names that happened with and probably why some of us cant find our folks..like Kelly was O'Kelly, as were many names with 'O'....dropped it...or Fitz.....became Hugh or Patrick or Gerrell or Gerald....anyone know where there might be a list of names changes?? Like how did they get Sheppard fr that Latin name....all I can think of is Pastor might be related to being a Shepherd.....shepherd of the flock....pastor of the flock..... >From: "Kirby or Jessica or Judy" <kstet@bright.net> This is a little off topic, but maybe someone one the list would be helped by this: Also keep in mind that sometimes Latin names were Anglicised. (Pastorius became Shephard, for example) >Kirby _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
