Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Frazier and its variants. There is a list of variants below, including Frasher, Frazer, and Fraser. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect and to break down brick walls.

Origin of Name

Frazier (and its variants) is a common surname because it is a Scottish Clan name, with Fraser being the more common Scottish spelling. Clan members took on Fraser as a surname even if they were not descended from the head of the clan, but were simply in liege with him. By working together, perhaps we can create a clearer picture of the different groups of people from the Clan Frasers that originated in Scotland and determine their migration to the New World. We would like to develop a master list of Fraser/Frazier immigrants, where they came from and when they arrived. Then the goal is to track those emigrant ancestors as they migrate east or south (or otherwise). Hopefully, we will find new cousins and break through those brick walls!

Task List

1. Add the Category to Profiles

If you are a Frazier/Frazer/Fraser or any of its variants, or if you are the profile manager of any of those profiles, please add [[Category:Frazier Name Study]] to those profiles. Do not place the category on the spouse of a Frazier, but do place it on the children of Fraziers. The One Name Study template with the sticker is reserved for the Emigrant Settlers who came from Europe to the New World.

2. Emigrant/Settler Ancestors

If you find a Frazier profile which is of a male emigrant/settler arriving in the New World from Europe, please add the template for the Frazier One Name Study above the Biography heading as follows: {{One Name Study|name=Frazier}}. Their name can be added to the Subsection "Immigrant/Settler Ancestors" with their dates and places of birth and death. We are using males only in order to track the name Fraser and its variants in their migration to the present day. No offense to all of those wonderful Frazier women ancestors!

3. Improve Profiles

Work on improving Frazier/Fraser profiles with research in good original or secondary sources, and add online links to that information when possible.

4. Create Subcategories

Create subcategories based on where a person is born. Feel free to add the state category in addition to the Frazier Name Study to those profiles. It will be in the format of [[Category:State, Frazier Name Study]]. If you need help adding state subcategories, contact the profile manager.
NEW PROJECT - 2.a. Add categories for the major county for each profile by adding the following category: [[Category:County, State, Frazier Name Study]]. Please message the profile manager for help in creating the correct category page.

5. Frazier Cemeteries

Add Frazier cemeteries to the sub-category on the Category:Frazier page.

6. Cemeteries on Frazier Profiles

Add a category to all Frazier profiles for the cemeteries that they are buried in. These will then be listed in the Cemetery Project for further linking.

7. Online Frazier History

Create a list of links to online research articles regarding Frazier history and genealogy to enhance our knowledge and ability to make connections.

8. Scottish Clans Research

Add links to Scottish clan projects or groups.

Alexis, Welcome to the Frazier Name Study! There is a lot on this page, but a good place to start is to simply add the category to each profile which has the Frazier surname. I added the Virginia category to his profile as well. If you have any questions, ask here, on G2G or private message me.

Hi! I would like to join this study. I have a brick wall ancestor James E. Frazier (Frazier-3117) and am interested in trying to establish who his parents were, and where they came from. Family tradition holds that James' father emigrated from Scotland, but various family members in years past have been unable to confirm that, or to identify him at all.

Bob, yes, feel free to add Fraziers to the place name studies. If you get stuck, I'll try to walk you through it.

I've got a set of Fraziers for the New York Name Study, another for Michigan. Can I enter these somehow? Otherwise I can send a list. Thanks, Bob Frazier

Cynthia, I am trying to get all the Frazier lines back to the ancestors in the U.S. (or Canada and Australia) to the original immigrants and then track the lines back to the British Isles. We will probably need help from Scottish, British and Irish researchers to see where our lines go. Then yDNA may help us further refine the paternal lines.

Join the project and put the category on your profiles which have Frazier as the LNAB. Eventually we will be able to track each line back and figure out if it is the Highland or Lowland Frasers.

Just to let everyone know, I am on a bit of a hiatus trying to break down my Frazier brick wall through DNA. Please feel free to add the Frazier Name Study category to your Frazier ancestors and add to any of the other projects here. I will be available to answer any questions.
