Re: How do you go from Andrews to Anderson?
Andrew and Anders are just different forms of the same name. Adding just an s onto a form of a given name is the Welsh way of making a "son" name.
SO Andrews and Anderson both mean son (or descendant) of Andrew/Anders.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
