Subject: FRANK surname vs. FRANK tribe
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 10:32:30 -0600


I have not actually been able to trace my ancestry back to the FRANKs but
do assume that the surname does derive from the original tribe - either
directly, by assimilation, or by taking the name - rightfully or not.

Any research I have done on this simply gives me a translation for the
name. Its a long shot but does anyone out there know of a more direct
connection between the surname and the tribe?
