I've done this before, and I've sent you an email about how much I am glad I like the pack for my surname TELLING.
My family with the Coyte surname were surprised at the names origin. We all thought it was foreign. Imagine our surprise to learn it was English. So interesting.
I'm getting similar done for a very good friend of mine for her birthday/Christmas present.
I got it for my son for Father’s Day.. I lost my husband to an RTA when he was nearly 7 months old.. My son and his wife have blessed me with two beautiful granddaughters.. it only seems fitting that this information is carried on through the family.. one of the girls may even use it as a school project one day.. at least they have the basics.. thank you!!
I am presently editing a story of my family history. It has taken me 2 years to put together and I intend to print it for family members. Our surname on my Dads side is/was Gotobed and I thought it would be a nice addition if I could include a potted history of the name.
With that in mind and after contacting 'A Day In History' I can now include a copy of a document that gives details from 1273AD onwards. Thank you!
