On the lighter side, no disrespect intended, some interesting bloomers!

Debra- you've now two threads about your family, possible ancestry etc. here where you've been given lots of excellent advice (most of which you seem to be ignoring) but what really puzzles me is the comments you've made about your surname, such as ...

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=720062.36
When discussing my surname with my mother, my mother said it meant flower (Bloom)
my mother's dad (surname Bloom comes from him)
My mother said my surname means flower. There's multiple families with the name Bloom
I seem to recall my grandfather saying his dad had the same name as him, so I looked for people of that name for the town he lived in. He was born in 1932 and I found a [his name] Bloom born in 1891. I traced this to 1850 and I found a Giles Blum - spelled with the u, instead of the double o's.

and then you started a second topic and suddenly change your grandfather's surname to BLOOMER 
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=721640
These are the facts I know; Born in England in '32. In the 'black country' Full name: Ernest Bloomer
At this point the name changes, it's spelled either Blomer or Blumer.

ok, whilst typing my post, I see that you've just posted a reply and have now said you've traced to 1509 . A lot further than myself and in just a day , so perhaps I should not be giving tips.

Kind Regards

So polite 

I cannot fathom how you can be confidently saying that you have traced back to 1509

Its the leaves silly

May indeed be the leaves, but possIbly also the tracing paper! 😄

Thanks a ton for this. All I needed was his father's name and I managed to trace his line down to Robert Barzilay Bloomer
& Hannah Benveniste Mendes (born 1509 - Gloucestershire)
At this point the name changes, it's spelled either Blomer or Blumer.
I went back further still and found the surname first started as Herrera which is strange but interesting.

At the same time though this seems to disprove that my line is related to a certain famous person by the surname Bloomer, since his family tree is known. My mother would say that he was her great great uncle.

How did you trace your family to 1509?

How much further did you then go back to discover the surname was originally Herrera? Can you  explain how Herrera became Blumer( or variants)?

Who is the famous Bloomer you thought you were related to? Why would your mother say he was her great uncle of he was not her great uncle?

I get the feeling someone is taking the pi55

But I could be wrong

Most probably

what makes me  really uncomfortable ( I've just read through the other thread)
is posting this :Young cousin http://
Other cousin http: (  I'm on purposely not posting the whole address from the other thread)

Do the parents ( whether their her parents siblings children or not!) of those children know that   she is sharing their images  over the internet without  their parents consent?


Kind regards
