[edit] References
There is a problem with a couple of the refs inserted by User:StuartStewart:
- http://p1ym.us/FAmily%20History%20FHE.ppt#259,1,Stewart is suppost to prove the the "Ferrer family has a longstanding tradition of intermarriage with the Stewart clan" Problem is it looks like original research, someone's family tree or something. Notice the majority of the images in the ref are ripped of Wikipedia.
- http://www.tulollevas.com/informacion_apellidos.php/id/11 & http://heraldicahispana.com/ApA/ferrer-freire.htm are suppose to prove that Ferrer "although the Catalan name is, in fact, of English origin". The problem here is the links are to Spanish language sites, and the tulollevas.com link seems to be a site where you can create a username and add information, much like a wiki. The heraldicahispana.com ref is about heraldry not strickly surnames. So the Ferrer who once registered a coat of arms may well have been English, it certainly doesn't mean all Spanish Ferrers descend from the man who once had that coat of arms. So i think its a total misinterpretation.
I agree with the concerns of the poster above: that it looks like this article is portraying one English medieval family as being the origin of all Ferrers. Ferrer simply means "smith", a very common occupational name (and also the most common Catalan surname).--Celtus (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ferrer (Family)
Jeanarmand in his/her first 3 edits to Wikipedia has split this article and made a carbon copy at Ferrer (Family) in order to dodge a content dispute. I've redirected it here (Ferrer (surname).--Celtus (talk) 07:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
