If you have Erasmus then you must have some Dutch influence in your family. Sylvia xxx

Just found out my grandmothers full name EUPHEMIA GERTRUDE KELLY No wonder she opted for Phebie, am sure her personality compensated for her parents cruelty in naming her as such...

Most of my Scottish ones are James.....Uncle, Grandad, Gt. Grandad, GT.Gt Grandad, etc.....no wonder when they call out Jimmy in Scotland, half the men turn round....

Loads of Williams and Marys in my English ones....

....only one of them had some inspiration and called a son after her maiden name....Sargison......sadly he died in his 20's....
