The RISTON/WRISTON/WRISTEN Genealogy
The
information here comes from many people, and many sources. I have "found"
the RISTON surname, (not those with the "W"), in and from Germany,
France, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, and England. I believe mine are those from
England and perhaps Scotland. Of course, the spelling of the surname, from family
to family, and throughout generations, has changed from RISTON, to WRISTON,
and WRISTEN. There are other spellings, (i.e., Ristine, Reston, Ryston, Risten,
Risteen, and others) that are on census records and other sources. These
variations are probably due to the fact that early on, the Ristons couldn’t
read or write and the county clerks, or church personnel probably spelled the
surname as they saw fit. Regardless, my contention is that almost ALL
surname spellings are probably related in one way or another.
Further research, of course, is necessary. The first part is from my own
research and that which others have sent me. In particular, I want to thank
Sophie F., Barbara E., Cecil W., Debbie M., and Charlie M.
If there are mistakes, AND I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY (some deliberately just so
people will "set me straight!!"), PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I will correct them right away! :)
If the typeset is too small, let me know and I'll change it. There is a lot of
information on this surname. It covers 6 pages. Have a good time.
