Names

A simple tip which came to mind as I was updating my Husband's Tree.
Very often children will be given Family names as middle names. Usually the Mother's maiden name. Hoever I have come across several instances today whereby the middle name relates to a surname from previous generations, OR in a couple of cases from the Lanlord that the father rents land from.
Backwards and forwards research can solve many problems but often a sideways search is just as useful.
