Our kids have a real United Nations in their gene pool. So far, I've added

- Nelson, Middleton, Hendry,
Thomson & Dow (Aberdeen & Canongate, Edinburgh (Nelson/Neilson only))
- Lumsden / Lumsdale
(Scotland-Edinburgh)
- McLennan (Scotland-Ross & Cromarty-Avoch, then Aberdeen)
- Hazlemere (Wark) (West Lothian - Scotland)
- Thompson (NZ - Dunedin, & Ulster, Northern Ireland- follow the link, there's a story here)
- Wormald, Cooper, Snowden & Sykes
(UK-West Yorkshire (Drighlington & Adwalton, near Bradford))
- Quartley (Somerset)
- Payne (Coleshill, Warwickshire)
- Liber (Poland & Belarus)-I summarized this side of my Polish ancestry here
- Sankiewicz (Poland & Ukraine)
- Pitigoi & Stanculescu
(Romania)
- Quadrio, Sceresini (Sondrio Province, Italy)
- Mavrokefalou, Romanou, Papasgoulou, Papadopoulos (Ithaca, Greece)
