My ancestors came from Denmark, England, Holland, Ireland, Scotland and maybe a few other places I haven't discovered yet. Some of my more famous ancestors were; Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sariah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph who was sold into Egypt and his wife Asenath, Ephraim and so forth. Another ancestor was a Lt. in the Mormon Battalion and part of the longest infantry march in history. My favorite ancestor, my father, flew 32 missions in a B-17 over Germany in WWII before he was shot down and taken prisoner of War for 11 months. Liberated by the Germans. He later flew the B-29, B-36, and B-52 bombers. For those of you (Claudia) who feel your ancestors haven't accomplished much I suggest that you do a little descendency research. This is where you choose an ancestor and try to find all of their descendents right down to living cousins. It make a great detective game and you end up discovering many important people and living cousins. If you choose a third great grand father you could end finding several thousand relatives. Good luck Would your great great (many times) grand parents be proud of what you have done with their name and genes? I think they would be? How about this for fun? My wife's father came from Germany just before WWII. Her father's brother was a fighter pilot in the German Luftwaffa. Did they meet in WWII? Don't think so because he was killed in action over Italy before my dad's first flight on D-day.

I'm a Lindsay and I was always told that "Lindsey" with an "e" were those loyal to the King and that Lindsay with an "a" were not.

I think it might be Scottish. I know someone with this last name and he's of Scottish descent on his father's side.
