ArchivesRe: Looking for ethnic origin of name-group: Alafare, Reden, Lot, Shadrack, Alford, Etheldred
in reply to a message by jennifer
Alafare reminds me of Aleferna who is recorded as Prioress of the Hohenholte monastery in Northern Germany in 1237–1240. The name is only partially explained ALA means "all", but the FERNA part is obscure. (see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleferna )
von Reden is also a german surname belonging to a nobility family stemming from a place called Reden near Hannover (northern germany, again)
