I'm told that "Bradfield" goes all the way back to the Saxon invasion of England in the 400s, and was originally "Brodfeld". I haven't done the research myself, so it's just hearsay at this point. Someday I'm going to buckle down and give money to Ancestry.com and do some serious looking. I know nothing of my mother's family past her mother, and I've promised my daughters that I'd look into their mother's antecedents.
But not today.
Oh, and thank you for stepping up and giving your family name. I respect people who are willing to come out from behind the internet wall and show themselves. Same goes to Armistead and several others here.
