Other Surnames

      The name Tudor Trevor (JC-1) is claimed by many other families as their beginning root. The surname of many are distinctly different and, at first glance caused a great deal of bewilderment. When starting my Jones surname tree climbing at age nine, my understanding was that one individual, with the same surname as yours, would be at the top of the family tree.  How could many different surnames come from the same root? Much was needed to be learned, especially when getting to those Welsh branches. Anyhow, the following two pages are taken from my RN# 236. The number of "other" surnames are recorded with the reference source of the surname given. There are 22 such families listed here, all recorded before 1884. What a deal!

            Note: the (3) stands for Burke [1884] and Dwnn mostly Vol.II, [1846].
     Here is my Jones surname connection, "Jones of Llwynon" which is marked in blue. Yes indeed, all these families share their roots to Tudor Trevor (JC-1).   It took a number of years to figure all this tree climbing stuff out!
