Do you know your grandmothers maiden name?

Question

On both sides?

Margot - it is for interests sake. No point necessary.

Mine are Armocost ( later version of Armogost) and Spreadberry. I have to dig up papers to name the rest. My great uncle did most of the research we go back to 1680's and then all traces disappear.

Answer 1

Sounds like a trick question. For me the answer is yes and I can go back to 5 generations and tell you all of my Great Great Grandmothers maiden names as well. In the six, I am missing two and in the seventh I am missing six. You can see them at

click on Databases in the top right of the home page and select Gidley Family. Unfortunately, the first 2 or three generations are private, but you can view many of the other 10,000 people in my tree.

Paternal: Laws, b. 1863
And their mother's maiden names....
After that, it starts to get "spotty"; by 6 generations ago (my parents being gen.1) their are more gaps than names.
Unfortunately, more often than not, women's names did not come down to modern times; most of the gaps on my family tree are on the mother's side, but not always.

Answer 7

Gar means to leaven, agitate, ferment, heat (in German) but this is no connection to the occupation of weaver that one of the most documented Gaars did for a living (see rice genealogy). The name seemed to originate as Gar and then chanaged to Gaar. Some spell it Garr.
