Each post will feature the story or life sketch of one of my ancestors, in the hope that others will come to know and love our great legacy.
My surname is Lee. the knowledge that we have about the Lee's is limited. Family history traces the Lee's to England but we can find little information past the first few generations. my 5th great grandfather was George Lee he was born in 1717 in Nottinghamshire England. we do not have a death record the only information we have found is his birthdate, taken from the birth records of his children.
the name LEE is the most common name in Korea, however we are not Asian in any way. the name Lee means:
English: topographic name for someone who lived near a meadow or a patch of arable land, Middle English lee, lea from Old English lea, dative case (used after a preposition) of leah, which originally meant 'wood' 'glade', as fro example Lee in Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent and Shropshire, and Lea in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Herfordshire, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, and Wiltshire.
