My maiden name is Livingston
Paternal great grandmother as well (family dirt there in 1905!)
Grandfather was born in Henderson, KY, but after his mother and grandparents moved from Atlanta in 1905 (gee wonder why)
There is a member here that could be related, but while we mentioned it in passing, never really got far.
Paternal grandmother was a Gossett born in Rocky Mount NC
Her mother was a Taylor from Durham NC.
Maternal family was from Guanajuato MX, so probably no relations there.

Chisum as in the chisum trail? Longest cattle drive in history! Thats a cool name.
No, I wish. But one of my ancestors was John Simpson Chisum "Cow John". By the summer of 1875, Chisum, the acknowledged "Cattle King of the Pecos", watched his herd increase to 80,000 longhorns. That year alone, he sent 10,000 cattle west into Arizona, and another 20,000 north into Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. Chisum was at the pinnacle of prosperity.
Billy the Kid even stole his cattle........... Kind of neat history. Chisum was one of Billy's and the Rustlers' biggest enemies after the war and was mainly the reason that Pat Garrett became sheriff of Lincoln County.

I'm personally not worried about it. I thought of it before I posted but I have nothing in my mothers Maiden name and it's common to boot, so I just wasn't worried. But it is a valid concern.

It's one of the questions social security asks you for security reasons whenever you call. That's why I don't give it out.

Hmmm let's see....
Mom's side:
Palmatier, Rourke (was originally O'Rourke but was changed because it was too Irish sounding), Hussey or Hussy, Du Bois.
Dad's side:
McAvoy, McEvoy, McCoy, McLaughlin, Ryan
Palmatier's came down from Canada to the US in the mid 1800's, I believe. O'Rourke's came during the great potato famine in Ireland and most changed it to Rourke when they couldn't get jobs.
First McAvoy relatives emigrated to America from County Wexford in Ireland during the great potato famine. Interestingly enough most McAvoy, McCoy, McLaughlin, and Ryan's went into law enforcement.

My last name is Juderman (originally Judermann), which translates as "Jew The Man" from German. Some how or another, in trying to get over here during WWII, they lost our real last name and only wrote "The man is Jewish" down. So.
My mom's maiden name is Jowers.
