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. Please contact the project leader, NAME, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.
This page was setup for the study of the surname Nightingale and it's many different spellings. Thanks, Drew McClenaghan M-973
