Cool!

My family name was made into English more than a thousand years ago. The original name was Brodfeldt, and we were part of the Saxon invasion of England in the 400s. So we not only have been on the "wrong" side of most of the wars since (we also fought for the Normans), but we might even have fought against King Arthur!
:rotfl2:

[edit] It ended up a couple of posts lower, and I didn't notice at the time. This was in response to Betanov in post #20.

Иван in Russian, translates to Ivan in English, I am told it means John in English.

Shouldn't your handle be "Saxon Steve", then? :DL


That's quite interesting though. I know very little of my family lineage. My great-grandparents immigrated from Prague and settled here to raise barley and corn. I wonder if any of my ancestors defenestrated (or were defenestrated!! :o) anybody? :hmmm:

No, they call me Tom.

Mine is Allen. Not to be confused with Allan or Alan which sound totally different.

Please don't call me Al, I am not a bird.
