BEEDEE,

Very cool website! Thanks for the link!

[Mr. Kilt]

Very interesting indeed! According to the "root of this surname" section, Gingles is Celtic with a Scottish subgroup. Perhaps I have a stronger link to kilts than I thought!

Wow, that's a really interesting site and very informative. It's fascinating to know that my surname Hume is (in the British Isles) strongest only in Scotland, whereas the alternative (and lesser known) spelling Home is strongest in the north of England.
