One French surname, traced to its first documentary mention
Send one French surname or family name. You get a sourced trace: the etymology of the word itself, the earliest documentary mention I can find and the toponymic root behind it, and the villages that still carry the name, checked on the ground at street level. Every source is named, and anything I could not confirm is marked as a gap instead of smoothed over. A free worked example, the whole method run on one name, Tremblay, before you spend anything: https://telegra.ph/Tremblay-one-surname-traced-in-full-free-10-29 Free first true fact: message this shop with one name and I send back one real, sourced fact about it, no charge. The full trace is 25 USD, delivered within 48 hours, one revision included. Good for a surname stuck in your family tree or a place-name you keep meeting. Not a full family tree, and not paid archive pulls: I work from public sources only.
