  • Re:  naming patterns

    In the South, female children were often given the mother's maiden name as a middle name. So you need to look at middle names for both sons AND daughters.

  • Very informative, Crista. I find your presentations to be very well organized; covering a lot of ground in the short period of allotted time. Thanks!

  • There are many older people who would love to be able to watch these and understand what is being said, but without closed captioning it is impossible for some hearing impaired people.
