My paternal grandfather was born “Vashevnikov.” One variation of that is “Vasovnikov” or “Vasovinik” - and I’m still trying to find out the original derivation of the name. It would be a real hoot if my very distant ancestors (beyond about 1800) who my GF said originally came from Germany, had a name that meant “white” or something close to it.
FYI, I live right near Blanco Road...and in Spanish, blanco is white. I guess that I can’t get away from it. :>)
LOL! You be White, Bro!
BTW...I have a Russian Jewish last name now, due to my late husband.
So whether they come after the Whites, The Indians, The Russians, or The Jews, they’ll probably pick me up too.
BTW...all kidding aside, it was a very effective video and I am sharing it.
