A relative told me a few days ago that my dutch surname was chosen randomly by my paternal g.g grandfather and that my actual surname was 'De Fontaine',she told me only because I asked why on my grandfather's records him and his brothers all have french middle names.
This g.g grandfather was her grandfather so she knows better than I.She could not tell me why.I only found one record in the south african archives of this name but can't link it to the family in anyway?
How could a DNA test help in this situation? perhaps a DNA surname project?
