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.
