My maternal grandma told me the origin of how my family go the name Anderson. Back in the early 1900s during the U.S. census, my family change the name from Andrews to Anderson which my grandma said they made it up. which makes me wonder how you go from Andrews to Anderson, that’s not exactly a name you pull out of thin air. My family must have saw the name “Anderson” somewhere but to no avail that’s all my grandma could tell me about the origin of the name since my ancestors never wrote our family history down anywhere.
