Geneology

[ethanhunt84]

I'm looking to trace my geneology. Can anyone help me? The names of blood relatives that I know of are Dumas, Fockler, and Durham. Anything Scottish there? I was told growing up that I have Scottish ancestry. I'm curious what that really means. Thanks for all your help!

Just an opinion on the three names you mention:

None of them sound Scottish.

Durham - that's English. There is a town in the north of England called Durham. Has a famous university and Cathedral.

Dumas - French - the writer Alexandre Dumas.

Fockler - sounds German/Dutch. Hockler is a German name, which is very close to the name you are interested in.
