Welcome to Hammond Family Histories, a one-name study devoted to the surname Hammond, attempting to discover its earliest origins, how it has spread through the centuries, how spelling variants may have arisen and, perhaps most importantly, how it has made its mark on history.

If this is your first vist you may wish to find out more about what defines a one-name study and why Hammond is classified as 'large'.

Most of you will want to go straight to the family trees and see if your Hammonds are listed (probably not but if you've read the about page you'll understand why and also find out how to add them!)

Once you have finished browsing, please take a moment to visit the contact page where any comments, corrections, suggestions & additions are welcomed, either by emailing me directly or signing the guestbook.

Enjoy your visit!
