Hi. Just found you. So interesting! I'm Scot-Irish, from southern West Virginia. The family names I'm interested on are Whaley, Lundsford, Harmon and Colverd. I know the sound if Colverd, but not the real spelling. I love learning name meanings and etiology. Your work fascinates me! When I heard the name Brock, I had a thought about another possible etiology. You can see my last surname is Borosky. Years ago, I bought a book called something like The World of Borosky's. It listed many pages if names that were derived from the same source as the name Borosky. I was amazed at how many sounded British. I don't know the sound of the original name Borosky. Many names were changed at Ellis Island. I enjoyed this video a lot. I'm eagerly awaiting more. Thank you for sharing.
The Brock Candy Company was founded in Chattagooga, (now part of Brach Candy)...Cravens is a common name around these parts in the Ozarks as is Hancock and Whitehead.
Love you talking about the old days including using an outhouse. I feel fortunate to have been able to experience some of the old ways in my youth. I have two names if you haven't already covered them ( I'm new here). The names are Keck and Shell. I was originally a Whitehead so thanks for doing that name I'm enjoying your content a lot!
Love your videos! If you get the chance, I would like to request my Surname of Compton. My father’s family run deep in Southwestern Virginia in Buchanan County and Dickenson County. My Compton heritage goes back a couple hundred years in Appalachia. Thank you!
I remember when heading to Stone Mountain, GA, with my Sister and our children, years ago. Deciding to take a short side- trip to the Vann house. We got to see it, ( if my memory serves me, we had quite a few side-trips, lol), it was closed for some reason. Cool to know of a descendant here, on RUclips. Another interesting episode, BTW.
How are you doing dr Barry I think I became really university student unfortunately without certificate but ihope you became proud of me as hardworking student . As always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s oldest surname in Scotland during reigon of David king of scot for example contemporary surnames de brus, umfraville and ridel) . Common surnames in Scotland are smith , brown , Wilson, Thomason. Permanent surnames began to used in 12 century in Scotland.
My grandparents are from smokey mountains of N.C. last name of black and garmon. I never knew them, just that were of scotch Irish descent. Hope these names will come up on your show sometime. Thanks, I really enjoy your podcast 😊.
Hey Barry. Did your family have a well during the Out House days? I remember the long skinny well bucket on a rope with a reel at my grandpa's house in Union Springs, Alabama. Great water from most of those wells.
It would be great to have some information regarding the Surnames of Urey and Nace. Both may possibly have some British or Scottish roots who may have emigrated from British Isles during religious persecutions to Germany.
Patricia, the views on my surname videos have virtually dried up, so I am moving on to another topic. The last one I did was on War and Rumors of Wars: What can we learn from WWII to avoid WWIII? As the author of Puritan Islam: The Geoexpansion of the Muslim World, I have to be on top of the goings on in Israel. Barry
I've been watching from the beginning and have always thought you looked familiar (I have visited Oliver Springs, TN twice, so I thought perhaps met you in passing), but today it clicked for me. You look like my high school Eng/Lit teacher. Woodrow Hollon from Breathitt County, KY. One of my favorite teachers, even though he failed me for a 6 week term for not memorizing part of The Raven. 😂
@@AdaraBalabusta I have read that as well. I am interested in the origin of the name. There were definitely Baxters in England and Scotland. There is a small town in the Cumberland area of England or what is now the Lake District called Swindale. I am pretty sure that the Baxters are mainly from Northern England in the Swindale area. This is near Hadrian’s wall which is basically the England/Scotland border.
I’m descended from NC/TN/GA/SC families. Family names would be Taylor,Crews,Townsend and Worley - would you please add them to your list? Thank you for the videos, I love them!❤ I ‘m learning so much too!
By the way, my mom went to the Redbird Mission School in Redbird,KY where Chief Redbird/Aaron Brock had lived and her mother was a Brock. I'm from Monterey, and went to TN Tech for awhile. Our area on Calfkiller and White County has an interesting history.
Anita, thanks for the message. I lived in Algood for a few years. I graduated from Tech in 1988. Monterey's location on the edge of the Plateau always impressed me.
Appreciate greatly your videos….requesting Bartles…..Bartle Bottles….Bible/Byble…kiker/kyker/kiecher….Lineweaver….Linebarger/Lineberger….Patton..gotta make myself stop…lol
@@BarryVann I am not sure about Grason/Grayson. I am researching my Grason family and have only found it spelled Grason. My 3rd great grandfather was William Grason. He was a Governor of Maryland. I have not been able to go any further. Thank you for the response. I will watch those episodes. I really am glad I found your you tube. I throughly enjoy it. Thank you so much
Well granddaddy didn't have no two seated but you always checked to make sure there wasn't a black snake hanging out looking for bird eggs etc. Always funny stories from kinfolk about outhouse adventures or pranks. I always wondered about the old two seaters behind the churches. Unless you were sharing with a relative, seemed a bit inappropriate somehow.
Great video. I'm actually a Hancock, and my grandmother was a Kirkland, both were from up north in Pennsylvania. The Kirklands in my family originated from Scotland, but were forced by the British to migrate to Ireland, where they worked as share croppers for the Church in exchange for the right to live on the 'Church Land', which is where they got their name. Interestingly enough, my Great Grandmother was gifted in divining. As for the Hancocks, no relation to John Hancock, they migrated from England. The coat of arms for the Hancock family shows a Rooster on one side with a Hand, sometimes holding a Dagger on the other, this was a symbol for the fighting cock, hence the name 'Hand-Cock' (no jokes now!!). There are many different variants to the coat of arms, but all at the very least include a Hand and a Rooster, story goes the Hancocks were originally a family of English warlords, who believe it or not, were responsible for collecting the taxes. . .
@@baronvann1314 Not a huge fan of heavy metal to be honest, I'm more a fan of the fifties and sixties, mostly pre-British invasion (not a Beetles lover). There are some metal songs I like though, as well as some Southern rock and alternative groups.
Hi! Thanks for doing Brock!! That's my Redbird, KY family!! I was also wondering about Belcher, my East KY family with no French DNA associated with the name according to DNA. Also I'm trying to find out what Tuckahoe Dutch means. It was actually on an old census record for my East KY family. The Belchers and Rogers I think. I'm also related to Shirley's and Bilbreys. All my family lines were in East TN and East KY before the Rev. war. Funny thing, I took several DNA tests. No French, but some Korean, some Pastun,and some from the Magreb. We are old, old mountain people from TN and KY. We are supposed to be related to Aaron Brock/Chief Redbird from Redbird, KY. He was a Cherokee Chief. I have no native showing up in my DNA yet, but can't figure out how in the world I ended up with the Korean, Maghreb, and Pashtun. I had to laugh!! Thanks for the program!!
@@BarryVann Hi!! Thank you for answering back. Both myself and my brother took DNA tests. He took Family tree DNA, Living DNA, and Ancestry. I took Ancestry and 23&Me, and My Heritage. We wanted a balanced range to see what came up. I also checked DNA ethnicity results of my Brock, Belcher, and Rogers cousins that I could compare to on the different sites. We seem to have a German heritage of some kind. I've been curious about the area of the Palatine Germans that immigrated. They haven't really pinpointed the German area of our DNA . All of my cousins that are on my mom's side grew up with outhouses. My grandpa lived in a coal miner's shack. I absolutely adored all of them and still do. I grew up on the Cumberland County/ Putnam County line in Tenn. Prof. Kenneth Tankersly is a distant cousin and has done some research on our Brock's. It's part of his family too. I have found no French in myself or my Belcher/Rogers cousins. I checked guys and girls. Thanks for your help!! Anita Shirley
@@anitashirley4886 Like you, I have had three DNA tests with different companies, including National Geographic. My results are really close to each other.
Hi again! Yes my DNA tests all agree I'm more European than probably most Europeans Lol. They differ on amounts of my different ethnicities and with updates it of course changes. The real difference is in my trace amounts. I think probably alot of people probably don't pay much attention to that but I think it's a clue to family lines in the past. All of my family is of course mountain people from KY and TN. All my lines were here before the Rev. war. We have an oral history of being Russian/German, Cherokee and Blackfeet Indian. As well as Tuckahoe Dutch/Irish. My matrilineal DNA is H3g1, and patrilineal is RU106/R-Y2404. They say on the test results my mom's is Tuareg/Fezzian from the Levant. Maybe it might be a clue or help to other mountain people running into the same thing. Maybe some of our native American/ Cherokee/Blackfeet came from the Middle East a long time ago. Maybe so long they forgot their history. Anyway, thanks again for your site. It would be interesting to find out if any of our native people were from the ancient Phonecians, or if the people from Palentine, Germany ended up in the mountains. Just a thought!!
@@anitashirley4886 Cherokee DNA is similar to that of the Mongolians. Every once in a while, traces of DNA that look Native American show up in Eastern Europe. The sources are found among the men who accompanied Genghis Khan.
A few weeks ago, you covered Macarthur; and very briefly mentioned Arthur along with it. Will that be your complete coverage of the Arthur surname? Thank you for all your research!
No matches for me this week. My high school PE teacher was a Joe Brock. His son is Greg Brock who played 1st base for the Dodgers in the mid 80s amd who replaced Steve Garvey.
Last part of my research there are top 10 Scottish surnames Wilson , Robertson , Campbell, Stewart , Thomson , Anderson, Scott , McDonald. Scottish surnames in recent years that have been given names in North America sometimes given both males and females for example Mackenzie taken from Scottish surnames Mackenzie is given to girls more than boys . Ihope you like my research we nowadays fasting holy month in Ramadan in Arabic lunar calendar 29 or 30 days we fasting from drinking and eating and using bad language since sunrise to sunset did you know all holy books revealed in this holy month Torah , bible , psalm, holy Quran. Stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones thank you for your wonderful cultural channel.
Lynn, I looked into your last name. I could not find a direct connection to a historical name. I love a challenge, but I am not confident in assigning an origin for Gaylon. Barry
Thanks for the clarification, Lynn. It looks like French surname; there are quite a few French surnames in the South. I can't locate a reliable source, though.
Gurley is suppose to be the surname of my great great grandmother and she is suppose to be Cherokee. Have not been able to confirm that she was Cherokee.

I liked the remembrance. We never rated a two seater. 😆 I see all these people in a panic about SHTF and I'm over here thinking my grandparents never had indoor plumbing and only got electricity 10 years before I was born. 🤨🤣
@@baronvann1314 I know what you mean! 🤣 when I said grandparents got electricity that meant, one bulb light socket in the center of each room. The sockets had a plug-in and of you needed to "plug-in" anything, well that was it. I remember granny in the kitchen heating water on the cookstove and the ringer washing machine plugged in the ceiling on wash day! Lordy its nice to see someone who still remembers those things. It was a hard life but it made some of the most generous people I've ever known.

I liked the remembrance. We never rated a two seater. 😆 I see all these people in a panic about SHTF and I'm over here thinking my grandparents never had indoor plumbing and only got electricity 10 years before I was born. 🤨🤣
Hi Gidget, I remember well my first indoor tub bath. I was scared to death.
@@baronvann1314 I know what you mean! 🤣 when I said grandparents got electricity that meant, one bulb light socket in the center of each room. The sockets had a plug-in and of you needed to "plug-in" anything, well that was it. I remember granny in the kitchen heating water on the cookstove and the ringer washing machine plugged in the ceiling on wash day! Lordy its nice to see someone who still remembers those things. It was a hard life but it made some of the most generous people I've ever known.
