Good suggestion... basically none of my family surnames from that time period were actually standardized (e.g. "Linn/Lynne/Lynne/Linne/Lyn/Lynn").

Yeah My paternal name was Gamiz when came over from Spain, my Maternal surname was Vollmer.

I have some 17th century wills from Chester England headed my way.  I am hoping that will clarify some things.
Awesome, how did you achieve that?

Called up the Chester records office and ordered them.

About 2 Pounds a piece.  The whole thing cost me 18 (counting shipping) which is probably 2,000 Dollars :P

But having something that old that may be from my family was too good to pass up.  I have a copy of one of my ancestor's brother's will where he references his father.  Crappy handwriting though, which seems to run in the family.

"Sanderlin" is rare as Pope shit in Sweden now. It's like all people with that last name either died or emigrated to North America.

Sandelin is quite common though.

Ok I am back to trying to track this guy again.  I know his full name in the US now: Charles Alfred Wallin.

But my question is he was born in 1840 and back then the Swedes still used those Patrynomics...so would that fit there at the end?

Charles Alfred Wallin Gustavsson (or whatever?) or would it work a different way? :hmm:

Karl Alfredsson from Wallin, Sweden?

I don't remember what the exact question is and I'm not rereading the thread, but FWIW:

Since he had a family name patronymics probably wouldn't be used a lot/at all. At least that's my impression from my own family history. On one parent's side there was no family name until modern times so patronymics were used, on the other parent's side there was a family name and patronymics weren't used AFAIK.

Er, in case it isn't clear, his name in Sweden would probably be Karl Alfred Wallin.
