That's pretty cool - some of the names are quite interesting.

Unfortunately, I can't trace my family history back very far.

I'm doing research, also, and I'm going to post all the unusual names I've found. I've found many men named Welcome, women named Thankful, and one guy who was named Income lol.

Leander is a name I like a lot. I used it for a fictional character.

There are some nifty names in my family tree. But, I'm not going to use any of them. I'll post them tonight, maybe.

That's so cool that she wrote a book! I did some family tree research a while back and still find it interesting but haven't got back to it in a while.
The strangest one I found on there was Lucrezie Borl. In a family line of completely English background.
