Surnames and Variations #3

These are some of the surnames I'm researching in my family history.  (You can see a complete list on the sidebar to the left.)  I periodically update the list as I see more name variations and find more ancestors.  Below each surname are the spelling variations, the dates found in records, and the location where the ancestor lived at the time or where the record was recorded.
