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.

My mother always told me that Welburn used to be Wellborn at one point. There was a story that at some point many generations ago a very young boy survived a shipwreck and somehow ended up in England. He was wearing something purple which was a royal colour so he was given the surname Wellborn.

Coming down the generations, there was supposedly a fire where some Wellborns lost a lot so the name was changed to Wellburn. Perhaps these are just fables but my maternal grandmother was a Welburn. Liza

Hi! I added text to the companion category for your name study (Category:Welburn Name Study). Feel free to edit it. The default for the template is to add the main category, but you can add a line to have a different category. See the ONS template page for details. Give me a holler if you have any questions about categorization.

I updated the text on this page to the current "starting" text. Feel free to edit it also.

And I created a redirect for both Wellburn & Welburn, so the links from those surname pages (e.g., Wellburn Project on the [Wellburn surname page) brings you to this page.

Cheers, Liz
