Just a though after seeing the posts about how names can be messed up.
Scott
From scotti, meaning wandering warriors. Given to the Galic raiders by the Romans.
Think 'Brave Heart'. My grandfather looked like that after a weekend binge.

Hendrix isn't my father's real last name. It should be Griffin, which is an Irish name in my case....probably anglicized from the Irish surname O'Griobhtha.

I reverted back to 'Holden' after the divorce, and my father found the original spelling was 'Hohl Dehnu' (sp??) meaning dweller in a hollow valley - makes us sound like some sort of troglodyte or ork
"Landercasper" came from husband. They were nordic, recent (great grandparents immigrated) , don't know anything about roots (or care)
A few years ago I was reading some novel about Norweigans and there was a
Lan der Caspar, or Lan from Caspar, I suspect that's the origin.
My group has been in the USA forever. They were Dyers. Thought is was about coloring cloth, but an internet search shows most of them croaked before 50, many before 40 ----so maybe they were die-ers!
Grissom is English and is supposedly from a village called Gresham, in Norfolk. (My husband is primarily of English and German descent.)
My maiden name, as I mentioned in the other name thread, is Traskos, from the Polish Trzaskos. I have never looked into the actual origin or meaning of the name. Now I'm wondering, so I might have to do that!
I am also one-quarter Swedish, from my maternal grandfather, whose name was Johnson, from the most common surname in Sweden, Johansson, which means, of course, Johann's son.
The other quarter, from my maternal grandmother, is a mixture of French, Dutch and English. Her last name was Barnett.
I would love to have the time someday to do genealogical research. I find personal family history (well, all history, really) to be fascinating!

Gresham isn't far from me, famous for a particularly fine Boys school, and more importantly, a particularly fine breed of Duck, that I am told is exceptionally yummy!
Quite an affluent and quintessentially 'English' village!

Sounds like a lovely place. The affluence did not trickle down to my husband's generation, though.
