English Roots My Son
If your ancestors are English then your origin (Northern or Southern England) may well be in your surname. We all know about Mc and Mac (son of) in the Irish and Scottish clans. Now, according to Leicester University researchers, an English person's geographical roots are revealed by the end of their surname.
Surnames ending in 'son' indicate northern English roots while surnames with an 's' at the end suggests a southern ancestry e.g. Williamson and Robertson are historically of Northern origin while Williams, Roberts and Russ are of southern origin - Nearly 60% of northerners in villages like Crosby Ranvensworth in Cumbria had 'son' surnames in the 17th century, and Russ at that time was firmly rooted in Somerset.
