| Simmers and related surnames in Scotland! |
 |
| ||||||
This Website is intended, solely, to provide assistance to to interested researchers of the "Simmers", and Simmers related surnames. This is done by providing a Listing of individuals and families, who originated in the various shires or counties of Scotland, in a way that is designed to make the identification of Parents, their Offspring, and siblings, more apparent! The history of the Simmers surname in Scotland is said to go back to a time before 1100 A.D.! From Scotland, so the story goes, the Simmers' settled in various parts of Europe and The British Isles. Simmers appears to be an English version of a Gaelic or Celtic Surname, which may account for all of the various spellings that will be found on these pages. The compilation of this information is very time consuming, as is the time to format it for placement on the website! Consequently, it is necessary for those visitors, who feel that this information would be of substantial value to you, to inform us by making an entry in our Guest Book, and/or Posting a message on our Message Board!! We will present this information, county by county, alphabetically, beginning with those which begin with the letter A (Aberdeen & Angus are complete), and adding counties until there are no more to add. Consequently, if at first you do not see a county that you are researching, keep coming back until you find it here! In compiling and re-arranging the individual entries, it was found that the same persons are mentioned, using one variation of the spelling of the surname in one place, and often, using another spelling in another place! Therefore, it is quite likely, that a researcher viewing a mere list of surnames alphabetically, from A to Z, might not notice the changes, readily, if at all! By re-arranging individuals, first, according to counties or shires, and then by townships or hamlets, the relationships between the surnames and given names becomes more clear! Although this has only been done, so far, in Aberdeen. It is significant, nonetheless. After careful inspection, it would be difficult to not conclude, the various surnames, of Symer, Symmer, Symmers, Simer, Simmer, and Simmers, are somehow directly related, and were used inter-changeably. This, either through ignorance, mistakes in recording, custom, or for some particular purpose! It very well could be, that the form of the surname used, may have been and effort to delineate the members of one brother's family, or one cousin's family, from another's! Equally as likely, is that the form of the surname used, could be as simple, as the "Formal Form" and the "Informal Form", the Gaellic Form or the Anglican Form. In other words, the Scotish Form or The English Form? So far, the earliest Simmersspelling, appears to have been in England, dating back to around, 1200 A.D.! One of the principal reasons for this website, is an effort to present information, already available, but difficult to use, in a useable format, and to stimulate the free exchange of information and research, by interested parties, regarding the earliest Simmers individuals, and those who may have left their homes in the Bristish Isles, for perceived opportunities in The New World or "The Lands Down Under"! Please Post any such information as you might have, on our MESSAGE BOARD! Your assistance is greatly appreciated!! Don't fail to make an entry in our Guest Book, at the very least! It's your way of supporting the efforts that went into the creation of Simmerscot1 website, and it will, in large part, determine whether we go forward with the same treatment in all of the other counties in Scotland!!
