Matthews- Been here since forever (think Mayflower, etc). Centered in Gallipolis, Ohio, but moved to Maryland early 20th century. Of pure working class WASP extraction. Methodists, and all very libertarian. Anglo-Welsh stock (I think the name is anglicized Welsh). Very distant blood connections to English royalty and the Carolingians.

You could use the name I used as a facade for many months on this board, Gwion Jones.
Or if you have suffragettes, then use my real name, Gwendolen Harris.

Both are Welsh.

'Gajete' and 'Gaete' :
the family of my father is from Andalusia, and had migrated to France in the 60's to find work; because of an error to the frontier, the j has disappeared for a part of the family.

'Muller' :
the family of my maternal grandfather is german with some polish part, maybe Prussia; there is a military tradition I think, as this Muller has been in the Foreign Legion and participated to the Algerian War, and his father has been near Stalingrad although in the health service of Wehrmacht.

Kuckewich (koo-kuh-witch), or, if you're feeling adventurous, Chodkiewicz (khod-ke-vicz), is my mother's maiden name. It's of Polish and Lithuanian ancestry.

Bonar (Bon-ner) is my last name, and it is Scottish in origin.

Hope they make an appearance in your timeline!

Reynder - Dutch/Frisian. Corrupted many times. Originally the Frisian word for reindeer. Incarnates in the US and England include Reynders, Reinders, Reiner, Render, and Renders.

Templeton - Apparently English

Nelson - English/Irish

Duluth - from "du Luth", French, apparently descendants of the leader of the coureurs de bois who explored Canada in the 17th century. Hilariously comes to me via "full-blood" Souix relatives.

Although not a direct relation, I'll also put out another name: Iñiguez. Aside from the Gutierrez (whom I am directly related to), the Iñiguez share a prominent role in the region of Mexico I'm from. Hell, even our current Deputy who represents us in the Chamber of Deputies is an Iñiguez, and half the people living in our municipality (Tepatitlán de Morelos) are named Iñiguez.
