First of all, I know this isn't the right catagory but I wasn't sure which one to put this in, but by the following information, where do you think I could've come from?
I know I'm a little British from my mom's side, but what about my dad's side? I have dark blue eyes, pale skin, and blonde hair. I'm 5'3. Where did the last name "Johnson" come from? If you can help me, thanks so much! :)

My dad probably doesn't know...probably doesn't care. :)

Ask your Dad (if possible) about his ancestry. Some people when they came over had their names changed to be more Anglicized for easier pronounciation. So it could have come from anywhere. Make a family tree - get the names of all relatives start with you and your siblings and parents and work backwards. It can be very enlightening.

The name Johnson is English. The Norman invasion of 1066 brought with it the Johnsons. The name literally means 'son of John.' Johsons have settled in Britain, Sweden, and Denmark. Check out the House of Names on the web. Type in your name and it will give you your history.
