You have obviously built a big tree. Not sure what your post is about. If you are hoping that people will spot their own surname in your list you will probably be disappointed.

If you are, in fact, hoping to make contacts then you will need to search other members trees available via the Search button at the top right.

Having your own tree on here will mean that new entries with matching surnames will be found via the Relatives option and then surname isummary.

Do you have a request?

Posting a list of names is not exactly informative………;-) ;-)

I was born in Canada but both of my grandmothers were born in the UK. My paternal grandmother was Mabel Emily Tucker, born 1890 in Ramsgate, Kent to Walter Tucker and Edith Hagar. My maternal grandmother was Frances Jemima Humphries, born 1897 in Wishaw/Motherwell, Scotland. My maternal grandfather (John Stark) was Canadian, but his ancestry was from Kisyth, Scotland. I have a lot of UK surnames in my ancestry, including: Tucker (Kent), Templeman (Somerset and Moray, Scotland), Beard (Gloucestershire), Hagar (Hertfordshire and Kent), Biggs (Kent), Watson (Kent), Marsh (Kent), Cornell (Kent), Birch (Kent), Clarke (Middlesex), Horsell (Wiltshire), Mathews (Wiltshire), Cox (?), Wright (Gloucestershire), Ireland (Gloucestershire), Stark (Kilsyth), Humphries (Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Lanarkshire), Hawkins, Franks (Shropshire, Worcestershire), Mees (Staffordshire, Worcestershire), Duff (Aberdeenshire, Lanarkshire), Nielson (Perthshire), Fish (Roxboroughshire), Lumsden (Roxboroughshire), Gerrond (Kircudbrighshire), Mossop, Fowler, Eldridge (Sussex), Alcott, Hilliard (Dorset), Devonish (Dorset), Livingstone (Kilsyth), Baird (Kilsyth), Campbell (Lanarkshire), Martin (Kircudbrighshire), Rae (Roxboroughshire), Biglome (Kircudbrighshire), Summerhill (Gloucestershire), Taylor (Gloucestershire), Cratchley (Gloucestershire) and Townsend (Gloucestershire, Hallfield/Affield (Gloucestershire). I also have Irish, including Devine/Devane/Duane and Shea/O'Shea from Kerry (likely Foley, Ashe and or O'Connor from Kerry as well), Beamish from Cork, Bolland, likely from Clare, and Gaynor, believed from Meath, Westmeath or Cavan. I had DNA testing done through Ancestry.com and I also have it on GEDmatch.
