I am trying to research the Leming family in Rome, Ga. I have found some information but not very much and from what my mother does know, she's a Leming, the family was a rough bunch and the older generation didn't want to talk about them so a lot of the history has died or passed on now. I have some family stories I would love to share and compare if anyone knows anything. My email is chell2981@hotmail.com or jeantims@hotmail.com. Thanks!

I went to college with a Glenda Lemming. WE ram around with John Horn, Don Crosby, and Mary Frances Cummings. I have remained in contact with Don and Mary Frances and we would like to know about Glenda.
Is this the same Glenda Lemming since she was from Oklahoma city?
Is she still alive? We were all about the same age--I'm 71
If so where is she and would she contact me?

Re: Mary Lemming McLafferty 1870-1937 Pendleton Co. Ky.

SUEBAYES — 2005-12-10 18:49:48Z

Hi Larry - The l870 birthdate for Mary was from her tombstone, but since then, I've found out that she was born on Feb. 10, 1882, which was a month after her father, Herman, died (from the records at St. Mary's, Morning View.). I also found William "Bit" and Mary's marriage record from the cathedral in Covington, which said they were married on June 9, 1909.
Hope all is well with you - I'm finally getting time to do some research again! - Sue

LEMYNG DNA SURNAME RE LEMMING/LENNING

raynam — 2004-09-28 17:53:36Z

The Lemyng DNA project has indicated a willingness to accept variations of the surname to join their group. We would like to have several volunteers from as many variations as possible. I would like to invite all variations of the surnames Lenning, Lanning, Linning, Lennin, Lenon, Leaning, Tinning, Lening, Leming, Lemming, Leving, Limming to join. We have tested 2 Lenning's who match the Lemyng group better than they match each other through ancestry.com. I know that it's a little expensive but I really think this is going to be answer to where our ancestors originated and how all the surnames are connected. There are too many coincidences within our family stories for their not to be some relationship between Lenning, Lanning and Lemming for their not to be some connection. Testing with the Lemyng Group will lower the cost of testing as opposed to testing as an individual. Check out the DNA site on ancestry.com and/or contact me at raytiques@charter.net.

We are starting a Lenning Family Website on myfamily.com for the Lenning surname in any of its variations, Leaning, Linning, Lemming, Lenon, etc. My particular Lenning ancestor is brickwalled at abt 1800 Tennessee and he then moves to Georgia abt 1840 and I would love to get past Tennessee. There is a story of three brothers, one settling in the North, one in the South, and one may have died at sea or in the gold rush. Also there is a Leaming surname DNA group on ancestry.com that we can submit to to find if any of us match, find possible geographical origins and Native American ties.

The Lemmings family

RichardBrown10 — 2002-11-10 16:46:06Z

I have a lemming branch on my late mother's side of the family. My information is very very sketchy, but here goes!
My in formation relates to England - most probably in Lincolnshire.
My grand aunt Kitty Long married Harold Lemming, a farmer. They had a daughter Margery who married.
Kitty's parents were William Long 1827 - 1899 (a law clerk) and Susannah Marshall 1848 - 1895 from Wainfleet, Lincs. They lived at Spalding, Lincs.

Are there any connections, or living descendants? With such a rare name, it is most likely you can help.

Regards happy hunting.
