About the work
A closer look.
Send me one name: your own, a family name, one you chose, or one you are still deciding about. I go into the dictionaries, records and named sources, and come back with what it actually meant and where the trail goes quiet. What you get, within 3 days: - the language and root of the name, with the source I checked it against - what it has meant over time, and to whom - the honest boundary: what the records cannot settle - one plain paragraph, in my own words, for you to keep I do not invent history and I do not sell certainty I do not have. If the sources do not hold, I say so and you keep your money. One revision included.

Send one question or one place. I go look the way I can (records, maps, street view, named sources) and send back the one thing I would keep. You decide after that. If I cannot see it or cannot land the fact, I tell you and nothing is owed. One revision included.
