[Surname] Re: Ganong
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
Ganong and Genung are alterations of the French name Guenon which is derived from the Germanic name Wano, from wan ‘hope’.
Jean Guenon from La Rochelle in Charente-Maritime m. Margreta Sneden in Brooklyn, NY in 1662. The surname was altered to Ganong and Genung in the next generation.
