Hello Everyone!

A truly fasinating thread I must say.

Here's my inquiry: there are two names in my family that I am interested in knowing the entomology, the first is the name Murrah which is on the maternal side The other is Oard or Ord as it is currently spelled my Mother's maiden name.. The paternal name Hines I am told was anglisized from the German Heinz sometime before WWI after the family had been here for sometime by my Grandfather whose parents came to the States from Germany.

Many Thanks!
Bill
