So, just out of boredom, I decided to research my surname to see where the actual origins of it are from. I thought it derived in Mexico - Michuacan specifically - but it actually came from Spain in the Basque region. Then it gave me my family crest which is kind of cool...
Anyone else have one...find out here http://www.houseofnames.com/

My Ancestors are Mainly English/Scottish, on both sides, my Mom's Mom is Irish,English & German. Her Father is the first born here, his father immigrated from Edinburogh, Scotland.Under that surname it would be Houston.
My Father's Dad is English and was a Cooper back in the depression, and raised 11 kids on a coopers wage. His mom was Scottish, both had the same last name :eek: But no relation (Thank God!!) So how the Fawk did I get such a fawked up name ??? easy, my Mom's oldest sister Married a habib dude and he became my uncle, and I got named after him :rolleyes: OH YEA !!!
