I have a rating, so I can now host a swap! Yay for first times!

I was just researching names this morning and trying to find the meanings for surnames in my family history when I thought: "Ooooo, good ATC theme!" I think where we come from and what our names mean (and how they have changed over the years, from spelling to meaning) are important, interesting things. I would love to share these things with someone else who finds them fascinating too!

Here are all those important details: One swap partner, 5 ATCs. The names being depicted can be your last name, first name, mother's maiden name, a name way back in the history of your family, whatever. One requirement is that the ATCs have the name(s) on them, whether as part of the art on the front, or just for reference on the back. One more thing: For this one, no need to consult your partner's profile; let's all produce expressions of what our names mean to us! Of course, if you're going for hearts, check profiles by all means to determine an extra inclusion for your swap package!

Newcomers to Swap-bot are welcome to join; please just message me with examples of your trustworthiness :), your experience (if any) in swapping/ATCs/crafts in general. As everyone else says, people without filled out profiles, people with no-sends (unless there's a good explanation) those who seem sketchy, etc, are subject to banishment! Thanks!

What a great idea! I love genealogy and would love to study more about the names in my family history!

May I ask if we can use images of actual ancestors or is the purpose to depict the actual meaning of a name....eg 'smith' might be a 'blacksmith'? Thanks :)

Hi Symphonie! My thought is that the ATCs can incorporate whatever you want as long as it's meaningful to the name. That can be an actual historical image or a depiction of the origin of a name. Whatever it means to you and whatever you find important to include!
