Listen fellas this site is much better http://www.ancestry.com/search/
You have to register but it's just putting in your name and an email. You don't even have to verify your email (You could probably put a fake email in). Then you can search and pull up a couple records. This site is primarily for Americans only though.
The arrows are pointing to the icons that you can click and check the records.

There are lots of last names that I can think of that are two letters like mine and they are from a specific country.
Have no idea where my name is from, think it might be either Jewish originating, my great great granddad was a Jew i think or its German.
That's not wrong. Those are census records. Of course there could be other possibilities for you. But in the 1925 census there were Nocoms who stated they immigrated to America between 1836-1925 from Sweden. Remember in Genealogy it doesn't necessarily mean that is your bloodline, but rather just the origins of your surname. There is a difference.haffeysucks wrote:

wow, apparently mines from scottish according to "houseofnames", but my entire family is from India and I still got a lot of relatives there. Gotta love the B.S. of the interwebz.
As I said house of names is not accurate. Use http://www.ancestry.com/ . What is your last name?Jbrar wrote:

Definition: Derived from the Anglo-Saxon "smitan," to smite or strike, SMITH and its derivations are an occupational name for a man who works with metal (smith or blacksmith), one of the earliest jobs for which specialist skills were required. It is a craft that was practiced in all countries, making the surname and its derivations the most common of all surnames.
Surname Origin: English
Your new last name is blacksmith now
