Welcome
to Goldstraw
and Goostrey Genealogy,
the home page of the Goldstraw and Goostrey family name group.
The
purpose
of this site is to inform and guide all those who have an interest in
the
surname Goldstraw, bringing them together as a common resource. Those
who
have already begun to research ancestry bearing the surname of
Goldstraw
will, eventually, come across a time when the name merges and blends
with
the surname of Goostrey (Goostry, Goostree or some other variation in
spelling)
and it is for this reason that the surname Goostrey is included. For
origins
of the name, see "Dialect
Plays A Part".
Recent information states
that there are currently 509
Goldstraw
families in various locations throughout the world. An estimated
population
of 1760 individuals currently using the surname of Goldstraw. It would
seem that the most prominent location for current Goldstraw families is
Staffordshire, England. We are as wide spread as The United States of
America
and Australia.
It is hoped that over time the efforts of all those
who research
the name can be pulled together to form a One Name Study Group which
will
fulfil the criteria laid down by the Guild
of One
Name Studies.
There are a great many
researchers who already hold a
good deal of
the information required. It is the intention of the one name group to
encourage the sharing of information freely amongst those who seek help
in the well known friendship encountered by amateur genealogists
throughout
the world.
If you can help - in any
way - great - or small,
please join us in
our endeavour. Your help will be appreciated by all those who share a
common
interest in the names of Goldstraw and Goostrey.
