These are the surnames I am focused on and relevant locations. I have several forms of evidence for these names but much still to do. This includes BDM, census and land records, newspaper articles, military records, and transportation and migration records. Surnames are identified by who is my ancestral line (DK) and my husbands (MB). The list will be updated over time.
