My nMy name is Howard Mathieson, I’m the creator of the Border
Reiver Surnames page. I’m a retired Geography Instructor with a
background in Geographic Information Systems. I retired in 2000 after
30 years of teaching. Since that time I have turned much of my attention
to GeoGeneaology, the application of Geography to Genealogy.I
specialize in mapping the geography and genealogy of the British Isles. I
produce a wide range of maps, from surname
distribution maps, county maps, thematic maps,
Google Earth maps and maps geared to your
person needs.If you are writing a book, building a
web page, or planning a reunion, my maps can
provide context and interest for your project.
Contact me by e-mail with the heading “map
enquiry”and we can discuss your project.Feel
free to download any of the maps on the site. If
you would like a high resolution map of you
surname(s), single maps can be ordered here. The
cost of an individual map is $8 USA, each additional map is $4 USD.
Include “Border Reiver Surnames” in the headingOn a personal note, I
winter in Arizona, where I lecture for groups and societies on topics
relating to the Genealogy of the British Isles. The remainder of my time
is split between Winnipeg and my cottage in Lake of the Woods Ontario.
My other interests are gardening at the lake and spending
