INTERESTING FIND
I am researching more into a client's ancestor with quite an unusual and unique surname. I have seen variant spellings and so far have not found anything to suggest where the surname originated from: Aixemu, Aixemus, Ayxemus, Ayermio,Aykenis Ayxermus
According to one site I came across, it suggests the surname is from Turkey 🇹🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪 yet this particular ancestor was in 18th century Spain. Would be interesting to learn more about this ancestor and her family.
SURPRISES ALONG THE WAY
And yesterday I shared an exciting find. While tracing a client's paternal paper trail I was led to a public tree that shared the family name and... revealed a genetic match which is me! It turns out according to AncestryDNA she and I are estimated 5-8th generation cousins. Now I am curious if somehow I missed matching with my client or the match is on completely different branch 🌿 unrelated to my client. As this unfolds I will post more.
UNEXPECTED GIFTS
A client purchased this book for me. It's written by one of her distant cousins telling stories about the immigrant ancestors that came to America from Belarus. The very ancestors I am researching! Incredible.
