Re: Behind the Surname?
Mike,Behind the Surname looks fabulous! I really love the idea and the lay-out! :-D Keep up the good work, and I'm sure it'll grow to be a site as huge and useful as Behind the Name. :)I'm from the Netherlands, and I research my family tree (= genealogy), which include lots of Dutch surnames, German surnames and, Belgian surnames and even some French surnames. I can add them all, if you don't mind. :)
Only, the problem is, when people try to admit a last name to your Behind the Surname site, they can't put what the origin of that surname is, from which country it is and what the meaning of the surname is. So all that they can do is add the surname and that's it, which makes it hard for you to decide what the origin and such of that surname is, especially if it's an surname from abroad. Well... you get the point. ;)Anyway, I'm gonna go work on a list for you to add to the database now.... I can assure you I've got tons of surnames in my programme for genealogy! ;)Regards,Lu

Damn, I'm stupid, forget all I said about origin and such! :( I didn't look carefully enough. :(
