My Ancestors came from:

Paternal.

Lancashire, Cheshire, Shropshire(Salop) & Germany(Prussea).

Maternal.

Lancashire, Cheshire, North (Welsh) Wales, Ireland & Scotland (not Yet traced anyone back North of the Borders, but I thought I should add Scotland as reliable Family Legend has it that one of Our lines can be traced back to the McNauton Clan![hope I spelt that right?].

Most of the above have been traced back to 1800-1825!

My Prussian Ancestors came a bit closer the other day, when I was given (what could prove) to be Their Port Arrival Records! ;)

Many thanks for the welcome.Being nosey now,where abouts in Staffordshire do your family come from if you don't mind me asking??? Also one of mine has the wonderful name of John (no offence to people called John ;) )!!!!!!!

No I don't mind at all John, ask away!

I think that being nosey is what FH is all about really!
It is called Burton-on-Stather [any idea where that is???]  I suspect it is the first word only!

Maternal.

Our lines can be traced back to the McNauton Clan![hope I spelt that right?].
Could also be McNaugton,

But remember the spelling changes throughout the years depending on who is registering the name or details.

Paternal: Anglo Saxon roots have traced surname back to pre 1016.
Maternal: Sedentary in the Cambridge area since before 1700.
Most bearers of my surname 54% are in the USA, 23% in England and Wales, 21% in Canada the other 2% in the rest of the world from Australia to Iraq!About 2400 of us worldwide, so fairly thin on the ground.
