Surnames, My my we have some Surnames

Surnames are interesting they tend to litterally drive us to hunt in weird places and do strange things.

Surnames are very early in origin in some forms, late in origin in other forms. Whether your native or non,

surnames have been used around and around. Son of Peter son of David son of William, become, Peterson

Davidson, and Williamson, now if your Russian it still works. OV and OFF are the derrivatives but today I can not

remember which work for which. Many countries have some form of Pattern to track their kin name.

Some of our interesting Surnames we are struggling with are DENEZIN, DENZIN, DENZINE< possilbly Germanic in nature, JIPP which was JEPP in Danish but is JIPP in Schleswig Holstein, Hubby's MOM line

Along comes the for ever PENTICOFF whch implies Russian or believe it or not Italian, PENTICO.
Now trying t o learn if a derrivative of BENNINGHOFF. Along with BROWN and KIMBROUGH in VA.
Hubby's DAD line,

Plan names like JONES a bound in my lines, five of them, MADISON, SWEET, PLANTZ, STROHSCHNIEDER, which i some cases was shortened to Snyder. SCOTT, TUTTLE, MORROW, PATTERSON, RITCHIE /RITCHEY are a few more. I have plenty to share around.
