This will be the home of the Wormuth One-Name Study.

​

What is a one-name study?

​

A one-name study is a project researching a specific surname, as opposed to a particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or descendancy (descendants of one person or couple).  A one-name study is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Studies may include a number of family trees which have no link with each other. - Wikipedia

 

My one-name studies are, according to the guidelines of WikiTree and the Guild of One-Name Studies, exhaustive; meaning I will be looking for every individual with any of the variant surnames of Wormuth, that I can find, wherever they are, whenever they lived.  That means that the study can continue, by someone else, after I am gone.  

​

I began this one-name study, like many do, because I could not find the origins of the family and knew there were variant spellings.

​

Wormuth is the spelling of the surname used predominantly in my maternal grandmother's family. 

 

I have found the following variant spellings related to members of the family, or not:  Wormuth, Wormouth, Warmuth, Warmouth, Wermuth, Wermouth and Wormwood.  These surnames listed will be included in this study.  If new variant spellings are found, they will be added to the Study and listed here in temporary bold.  If variant spellings are removed because they do not appear to be relevant, those variants will be grayed.

​

Both WikiTree and the Guild of One-Name Studies have guidelines and instructions for conducting such a study.  The Guild suggests a web site for each study so I decided to create one.

Right now, setting up this web site is important; not as fun or as important as the Study but important.
