I want to thank each submitter (especially Paul Davis, our German expert) for making the page such a success!
Please feel
free to submit your surnames
and be sure to put LAKE COUNTY SURNAMES in the subject
line so that I know it is for this page. And note- only Lake county
surnames, no queries.
One way of finding more info on
your ancestors is by making connections with others, get your
Lake County names noticed! And be sure to email some of the people
listed below if you're researching the same Lake County Names. Let them know you
found them on the Lake County Rootsweb Surnames Page.
I would like to thank all of the submitters!
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the passages sent with surnames have been getting long so Ive abbreviated wherever possible to be able to fit as much info about a family as I can. Such as: poss.=possible, C.P.=crown point, LK Co.=Lake County etc.
