Phil, That is one thing that girls like to do is create a mystery. My husband was adopted by an Italian family. Or so I thought because they claimed being Italian since the parents were of the lineage. When I started doing the genealogical line up. I have his parents who were 1st generation American's. Name Vannucci. The father's dad was born in Lucca, Italy the fathers mom was born in Italy but family came from Russia name Balsa. My husbands mothers dad was Italian who's parents were from Spain name Mataresse. The grandmother was born in Mexico but came from Italy name Garate. I quit trying to think about it then. lol Philip Lindsey <[email protected]> wrote:This same difference in pronunciation is found in Missouri. Talliaferro (or Taliaferro) is an Italian name, at least, as I went to a Kansas City, Missouri High School in an area with a large Italian population and it was found there. And I suffered a rude cultural shock at a fraternity mixer when I tried to converse with set of young ladies belonging to a sorority with Southern origins. That came when I expressed the opinion that my leg was being pulled when introduced to the "Tolliver (Taliaferro) sisters". The tone with which I was set straight left no doubt about how the sisters (and all others in the sorority) pronounced the name. That left me with a question, still unanswered today. Though I have seen the name Taliaferro often in genealogy, and know it existed in England centuries ago (possibly from conversos in Italy or Spain, who moved to England during the years of the Inquisition?), what did those two sisters actually know of themselves in that year of 1964, because the name certainly appeared to be Italian, and the reaction led me to believe that was not the first time the question had been raised?

Lee, I went to your site and it is wonderful. Thanks. There is a Burl Ives book that has been out for years on songs of Ireland. The name of the people slips my mine but they were dislocated refugees from Germany and were stuck in Ireland trying to get to America. This was in the 17th or 18th century I believe. It must be the same deal for them as the others who ended up in Va. My Roberts were in Henrico Co, Va. George Roberts who died in Pittsylvania Co. "G.

Some where in one of my allied lines I have Chews.I wonder if it was originally Chewings? With the difference in names it is all potato tomato etc. I've been to New Orleans area and they have some names down there of streets etc and even a huge river or swamp or something that is pronounced out no where near how it is spelled out. My Boldings came from Va. The forefather that I can get back to was Obediah as it is written now but in wills etc it was spelled out as Obdeah. I have a Thurston Oliver I found in Caroline Co and he is listed as Thruston Oliver. [email protected] wrote:Thanks, I should I actually live in San Joaquin County. My Chewnings came from the spelling of Chowning. Some of the research I have uncovered state that even as Chowning it was still pronounced Chewning. But sometimes even the Court Clerk changed the spelling. My Dora's came over from England where is was said it was Dore, in Maryland it was Dory/Dorey and on moving to Kentucky it was changed to Dora by some of the first clerks and they just stayed with it. My ancestors would cringe to know that we now just say Dora like the first name.

I had a ggreat uncle, Simon Herrell, who was born in 1825, very likely in Burke co., NC, who told people he was From Ireland! I wonder how many old stories like this have been passed down through families as absolute Truth and passed on to other researchers of today. The first thing I did when I got interested in researching the Harrell, Herrell, Harrold etc. families was read everything I could find concering the origin of the name. In my case, I found Harrald as a name used in Norway and Denmark when people had only one name and were referred to by some physical characteristic or a deed they had done. When I learned that the most notorious Vikings were Harralds or their relatives, it became very interesting! They ranged from fierce warriors to Kings of Norway, Denmark, England, Scotland and Ireland, one was even a Saint, Saint Olaf. I found that Fairhair Harald lived to be about 80 years old, dying in 935 AD, the average age of most of the Harrells etc. I have found in America. Makes me want to make a DNA comparison to the "old folks"! So you see why I may be at least part Irish today! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's day. Searching my database of 15,000 showed only ONE event that happened in Ireland-The death of my 10th great Grandfather, who escaped there from France to avoid religious persecution. But that didn't stop my daughter from dressing all in green and heading off to school to be Irish for the day. Not one drop of Irish blood in the child at all. <G> Teresa Ghee Elliott Rutherford Co., TN cemeteries: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/ TMG sentences: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/TMG.html Organized genealogy [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: G.
