Whats in A name?
Ever wonder where you come from? How many of us are closely related? Well today lets learn everyones last names... ie. The 4 last names of your grandparents.
For Example: I would put
Myers:Easterly:Cox:McCoy
Thats right, we are part of the "real McCoy's". No joke, going back to the classic hatfield mccoy feud back in West Virginia Back in the day.
Anyway, I got looking into this when in Utah, for there the Mormons prize family history (So they can baptize you when you die). I sat down, and found out you can research everything at home.
For example:
The family search page lets you know about your family, but its not free when you start looking deeper.
So far I have found: This Myers History
Dwight Easterly Myers Greeneville TN (1947) married Mona Cox 3 kids
Basil Dwight Myers Greeneville TN (1925) married Beaulah Easterly 2 kids
Basil Alexander Myers Greeneville TN (1888) married Ellah Reed 4 kids
Alexander Myers Greeneville TN (1848) married Rachel Easterly 12 kids
William Nathanial Myers Greeneville TN (1818) married Hiley Carter 2 kids
Hanry Henry Myers Greeneville TN (1777) married Elizabeth Trobough 13 kids (most of family raised in Pennsylvania, Hanry was youngest child)
Jacob Myers Westphalia, Ger (1729) married Margrat Ann Heger 12 kids
It seems he came to the USA in 1759. He owned a grist/paper mill and fought in the american revolution.
Johannes Myers Westphalia, Ger 2kids
So there ya have it 8 generations of Myers, from Germany to the USA...
Add your family surnames...

Jones:Wheat (Dad)
Echols:Williams (Mom)
All I know about my family is that there's a lot of alcoholism and drug depedency on both sides of the family. Oh and diabetes and heart problems, which according to my mom and dad, is why I should leave a good clean life or end up gutter trash due to my bad genes.

Ethoipians obviously aren't cut out to be mormans, none of my names came up.
Thomas, Tesfamichael, Tesfamariam, Hagos, Weldiw, Tsa-adu.
This is the line from me to my 3xgreat-grandfather. It's custom to take your father's first name as your last. Making it impossible for any Ethiopian to become a morman (thankfully).

"no matches found"

well till a few years ago... there were more reasons than that which would prevent Ethiopians from being mormons... but anyways... thats the odd ways of mormonisim... interesting though first name last... so uh ur kids will have the last name Thomas?

Guess I'm in. For the football that is. If for no other reason, to meet this Mongo and see if he's really as strong as he claims. And because that'll mean I'll be able to demonstrate the incredible talent I have of doing things the hard way.
