Hi, my name is Janna Elward Robinson, daughter of Martin Timothy Elward and Sandra R.S. Barnhart. My paternal grandfather was Eddie Lee Elward of Oregon(died in 2006) and his father was Martin Leo Elward who died in Washington State in 1988. It is not a very common last name and I am having a lot of trouble locating any information on my father's side of the family. If anyone can help me with any information of the Elward's of mainly the NW USA, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm also trying to figure out exactly what origin is my maiden name. Are we Irish, Welsh, English? I've heard many different things and would like to figure out exactly where we originated from. Thanks in advance!
