Goals
This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. 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.
Most of the Jernigans and Jarnigans come from 3 immigrants This is to help identified the common ancestors and their Links Thomas Jernigan "the Immigrant" originally spelled his name as Jernigham but crossed out the ham and replace it with an. That being said most of the experts say that Jarnigan was probably the more correct pronounciation The may thing is identifying the links Other spellings I have encountered are Jonakin, Jurnigan, Journigan, Gernigan, Jornigan, Jonerkin
I look forward to your inputs.

For instance the name Jernagan is listed in the Domesday book which was basically a census taken in England in the year 1066 by William the Conqueror after he defeated the Saxon King Harold in battle. The Jernigan name is said to mean "To journey again" and was common among the Viking peoples. Alabama is home and history to many many Jernigans.
