Does anyone no what country of Origin the last name .....?

Question

Larman is from. I have been confused all my life about where ancestors came from, and my folks really don't give me a straight answer.

Answer 1

Without specific first names to place with your surname, along with accompanying dates and places of birth, what Ancestry.com (or any other online genealogical service) has to offer won't clarify your paternal ancestors' country of origin any more than your dad's family has thus far. Ancestry.com lists multiple places of origin for Larman:
England 8
Germany 5
Ireland 5
Sweden 3
Sussex 2
Norway 1

Similarly, Ancestry.com lists many ports of departure:
Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland (49%)
Liverpool, England (21%)
London, England (8%)
Amsterdan, the Netherlands, and Boulogne, Sur Mer France (5%)
Glasgow, Scotland and Larne, Ireland (3%)

Within England itself, Larman families in 1880 lived in multiple counties: Middlesex (greater London 19%), Hertfordshire (just outside of the London area 13%), Essex (6%), Suffolk (4%), Yorkshire 6%), and Durham (6%).

Start tracing your family back bit by bit beginning with old family records, such as the family bible, personal letters, birth and marriage certificates. If you are American, then turn to the US Census, which is currently available up to 1930 both online and through the government document section at local public and academic libraries. Your journey won't be a quick one (unless someone else has done the work for you), but it will be interesting and educational.

Answer 2

Your folks may not know, to give a straight answer, unless they have actually researched the person with the name. I'm confused myself, since I don't know your location, so we'll pretend it is US...
work your way back with family documents (not oral history, actual records) until finding the ancestor who is likely born prior to 1930. That is because that is the latest census available for now. Census records since 1850 show place of birth for the person- since 1880, it will show person's place of birth, as well as his/her parents.
Names are not a reliable indicator of actual place of origin. But, we'll get you researching and curious, and you'll get that part. *grin*

Answer 3

Norway. I continually knew that my final call Shelley wasn't from England yet from Norway. i latterly got here across that in the time of Norway and Sweden, the very effortless call Kjell is suggested shell or shelley. style of relaxing looking that stuff up, enormously once you detect a step forward.
