Frost Family Name History

I thought it was worth posting these replies to the Frost family name question on the survey. Now the trick is to guess who said what! Happy guessing!



Survey Question: Tell us anything interesting you know about the history of the surname Frost.



Responses:


  1. That's a cold question
  2. Robert Frost was the sophomore in college poetry teacher of Helen Frost's sophomore in college poetry teacher.
  3. It was taken by Hemming Hansen when he migrated to the US and found that there were a lot of Hansens in the seminary in St. Paul...so he took his mother's place name in Denmark, Frost (with a fancy little accent mark dealy over the "o"). How close am I to the story as told by Generation 2?
  4. Changed from 'Hanson' by Hemming Frost
  5. I believe that it was a place (town?) in Denmark where Hemming Hansen's family lived.
  6. Once there was this snowman....
  7. I think it has to do with a white bearded person?
