I also wonder about the tradition of using family names as middle names. In this case, the father was James. The first son was names James BYRD; second son William WELD; Third son Henry W. (I think William); Forth son Carson. What is the tradition of nameing the children after a parents/mothers maiden name? also is there a tradition on the naming of the daughters? First daughter was Jane; second daughter was Loraine; Third and forth daughters were Mary. Would the first daughters be named after a grandparent?Lois Lanenoreply@blogger.com
