Wasn't sure where to put this, but another post about maiden names got me thinking. My maiden name was Taylor. Wouldn't it be interesting if we all put our family names on here? I'm thinking we can list several generations from both sides of the family, and put your current one in there somewhere but not necessarily on top in case you want to remain anonymous.

Here's mine for the last couple of generations:

Taylor
Christenson
Peterson
Rassmuson (sp)
Walsh
Cowgill
Giles

Fascinating concept, Dancing Dolphin,

My maiden name was Killingstad.
My first husband's last name was Boyden.
And the major family names within my close-in family are:

* Taylor
* Fauerbach
* Symes
* Steele
* Nelson

Anyone else want to share?

Sorry, I can't quite join the spirit of this. Naming my brothers-in-law (who aren't Chinese) and my partner, is almost like a completely different add-on to my whole family background.

Then strange as it may seem to people here, I don't know some of the last names of my relatives.

I don't know many of the last names of my relatives; heck, I don't know my relatives. I have 10 siblings surrounding me and
don't know some of them.

Smith and Davis can be addaded to my list; I forgot about them.
I only recently met some of my bio kin, which is why I forgot
those names. Taylor is on WB's side.
