I don't really care about the origin or meaning of my first, middle, maiden or married names!.

I know that I was named after a great aunt, an aunt and a second cousin, all of whom I had the privilege of knowing!.

I'm more interested in my ancestors, which is what genealogy is (and this category should be) all about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mine is Prussian!. And though I haven't found others with my last name who've turned out to be distantly related, they all migrated also from the area that was Prussia!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

******My last name is Dutch!. The "stra" at the end of my last name indicates that it originated in the northern province of Friesland!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
