Here you will find information on families related to the surnames BOOTES and BOOTS worldwide as part of a One-Name Study. These surnames originate in two main regions of England: East Sussex and Oxfordshire/Berkshire, separated possibly by the English Civil War. Some East Sussex BOOTS were pioneers emigrating to America and Australia during the poverty years of the 1820s and 1830s following the Napoleonic Wars. These, and their related families, can be found here. The BOOTS may or may not have come to Sussex with William the Conqueror, or may or may not be Huguenots from Holland coming somewhat later. The GOWLAND families relate to my maternal ancestors which are solidly established in the North Pennine lead mining regions of Weardale, Teesdale, Allendale, and Tynedale crossing the counties of Durham, Northumberland, and Cumberland. You will also find many families from this closely-knit region on these pages.

There are a great many BOOTS and BOOTES surnames in the United States of America that are not included on these pages. These people are descended from Hans Adam Stieffel (1732-1803) who was a German pioneer that emigrated in 1752 and changed his surname to boots, the English translation of the German stiefel, in the footwear context. These families can be found on the website www.boots-stiefel.com maintained by Lewis Ellingham.
