ArchivesRe: What is the meaning and origin
in reply to a message by Enorval
What is your ethnic background? Where was your grandmother born? Where were her parents from?
Was your grandmother Enorval Burns who was born in Missouri around 1903? If so, she is one of only TWO people listed with the first name Enorval in all of the millions of records found on AncestryLibrary.com -- and the other one is of a man where the census taker's handwriting is so bad that the name may very well really be something else.
When a name is this rare, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to track down how your great-grandparents came up with it. It seems probable to me that they created it themselves.
