Society of One Name Studies

The Society of One-Name Studies is an organization for people who research and document their family surname—like tracing all individuals with the same last name—and how it has evolved over time. Members share resources, methods, and findings to better understand the origins, distribution, and history of specific names. It's a collaborative community that supports genealogists and enthusiasts in their pursuit of surname-focused genealogy, helping preserve and connect family histories across generations.
