There is a small village outside Carlisle called Wetheral. My Dad always claimed we were descended from the de Weatheralls of Carlisle. Lol. His Mum claimed descendancy from Hereward the Wake. God knows where she got that idea from. Jim |

I have a living example of people's surnames reflecting where they came from. My daughter's boyfriend is half Italian, his surname is Terminiello. His father (and generations before) was (were) brought up in the village/town of Termini. His Nona (grandmother), and other members of his family still live there. maggie |
