These are framed in my home ( have fogoten where they came from)


(First)--Noble one
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

(Middle)---A Traveler

Mk 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

This is suposedly our coat of arms.

and All that know of my Surname is that we come from France and ran to Great Britian to live untill we came to the States (which was about 5 years). It has been passed down from generation to generation, that it was changed over the years because of a feud between two brothers. We do not know of the original spelling or pronunciation.

God Bless

My first name means "bearer of good news, good tiding" in Greek.

My middle name means "Magdalene" in French - as in Mary Magdalene.

My last name means "leaf" in Sanskrit (an old-form of Indian language) - this has something to do with my Chinese heritage. My Chinese surname means leaf. And my Chinese first name means "a beautiful gold".
