Hello again, My name is "Billy" of course not "Builly"!!! Billy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Stranney" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 8:38 PM Subject: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Introduction > Hi everybody! > > I'm new to this list and don't know what's expected yet so I'll keep this first email short. If more detail is required please just let me know. I am interested in the origins and meaning of the surname "Straney". Variations of Straney, I have found, are "Stranie, Strany, Stranay, Stranny, Stranney and Strainey. People of that name have lived from at least 1680s onwards in Co Down N Ireland, Southern Scotland, North-West England and Isle of Man. The major movements of these Straneys have been to USA mainly; a smaller number to Canada; a smaller number still to New South Wales Australia. > I have an "internet friend" who lives in USA who is very interested in this same name and its origins. I intend persuading him to join this list! I'll say no more for now. I would like advice from the list administrator as to what is expected here. I did look for archival material to browse but couldn't find any. I assume the list is very new. > > I would very much appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give me with the above. I'll return the favour if I can. > > > Best Regards, > > > Builly. > > > ============================== > Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp > >
