Thank you so much! So informative! My Grandfather’s surname on my Mom’s side is Blake. No wonder my DNA came back with so much Norwegian!
Your welcome and glad you found the article informative Crystal.
Very interesting, thank you! I’m adopted and didn’t find out till I was 57. My adoption was private and consequently I have very little information about my ancestry. I was told I had an Irish family with the name of Toot but was never able to find anything due to incorrect spelling. Once I tried Tuite I was able to find a lot more info. Most of my ancestors came from County Leinster and still live there.
My DNA stated my ancestors from the Emery/Amery Family were Normans, but the name is not in your list. I’d like to know if the Nethery Family were Anglo-Normans, too. Could be anything from NeAthery, Neddery to Niddry and variations in between. Derived from Nether which means ‘lower’ or ‘under’
My family surname is Casto, and even now my DNA testifies that my ancestors came from Ireland.
Originally three brothers entered America possibly as far back as the 1600’s.
Any ties anyone could find are Greatly appreciated.
I was told once that Casto could have come from Costello ❓❓
