Hi again, I find I need some direction concerning the surname TOBRIGHT or TOEBRIGHT. Thanks for your help again, Iris [email protected]

Please tell me the meaning of: Hall, Webster, Burk, and Brown. Thanks! Jean

Thanks to Barbara. There has been a controversy of many years standing that many people of Spanish/Mexican ancestry in California named ARCE descended from an Englishman named something like D'Arcey. Your explanation might put an end to this speculation. I'll have to remember "near a pale tree, Santander and Navarre, a stony place." Thanks, Barbara Gary Radcliffe

My thanks to Muriel, Jim and Barbara for the information on the surname LICHT. I really appreciate the help. Iris

Looking for the origins of the surname KLUMPER. Believe it to be either from Netherlands or Germany. Would this be the case? Liz

The name "Lichti" (undoubtedly related to Licht) is a name common among Ontario Mennonites of German origin. I've known persons from New Hamburg, Ontario named Lichti. -- Jim Spencer An Anglican Catholic (TAC), http://www.zeuter.com/~accc/ with UEL heritage, http://www.islandnet.com/~jveinot/cghl/loyalist.html with BHC heritage, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ with Orange heritage, http://www.orangenet.org/genealogy/ with Jewish heritage, http://www.jewishgen.org/ and also of Mob extraction.

Licht means "light" (daylight or lamplight) in German Muriel >Does anyone know the origin of the name LICHT ? >I suspect it is German or Polish? > >Thanks for your help, >Iris >[email protected] > > >============================== >Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp >

KLUMPER - found: \ KLUMP (German) The big, coarse, clumsy man; the fat man. Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by E.C. Smith.

ARCENEAUX - the closest I could come to this was: \ ARCE (Spanish) Has to do with living near a maple tree; or someone from places in the provinces of Santander and Navarre. In this latter case, the word refers to a stoney place. Don't know if the name for which you are searching is related (it looks French) but it might be a starting place. BABIN (Russian) From "baba" (Grandmother, Old Woman), either meaning son of an old woman or a nickname denoting a fussy old man. The word "baba" was originally a nursery word. DOBROTT - ? VITALICH - the closest I could come to this name was: \ VITALE (Italian) From the Latin "Vitalis" (the "a" is pronounced as in "aim"). 'Vitalis' comes from a Latin word meaning "life". The name was also borrowed by the Jewish community, using it ("Vitalis") as a translation of the Hebrew male given name "Chayim" (life). Hope these will be of some help to you, though I am doubtful.

I just happened to be on another of my screen names. Its getting too hot here! I seem to forget about it until May or june rolls around. I got me a little pool, I can soak in to cool down,then I can go about my tasks for about an hour when I take another dip. The airconditioning isnt large enough. This will keep me from whining all summer! Actually Santa Cruz was perfect. John

PASCU - May I guess here? Easter, the holiday. PANE - Bread. Gary Radcliffe

PASCU - couldn't find the name as given but did find several that are quite close and all translate to the English "PASK", meaning, as Gary suggested, "Easter", that is, a nickname for one born at that time or having some other connection with that time of year, such as owing a feudal obligation then. The name comes from Latin "pascha", then "pascua", to Old French "pasque", into Middle English "paske", and finally to "pask". PANE (Italian) Once again Gary is right. The name is an occupational name for a baker of bread or a pantryman. It is a version of the French name "PAIN", which originates with the Latin word "panis".
