Surnames: Sumner/Sumler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/igB.2ACE/493.1 Message Board Post: Hello Paul, I have just started my research again after a long break and I came across this message I had not seen before. I know it has been a few years since this was posted. I have just received information that my great-grandfather James Edward Sumner had changed his name to Sumler in the 1900s. If you have found any new information on this could you please share that. It would be appreciated. Thanks
