RE: What's in a Name: Silver Smith, My Silver Bloggers Name

Knowing the family history often helps to understand who we are. In my case I have only found out where my paternal surname comes from and apparently it derives from several places in Spain.
Now that I live in Spain I should deepen my research, maybe I descend from nobility. 😁
I loved how you describe your ancestors, I think when you find out something like that you always want to know more.
Greetings my dear friend! 👋

Actually,you would probably find more scoundrels in your past if you were descended from nobility😄

In the U.S. there are many genealogical resources available because searching the past seems to be a national hobby. I take a thread from one source and then follow it on another.

I don't think I have any Spanish forebears, although half my family came from Sicily and Sicily was controlled by Spain for a time. So, maybe there was a little fraternization between the conquered and the conqueror. :)

Thanks for reading dear @mballesteros. I hope you are not working too hard!
