4. Here is where you put down one or two paragraphs' worth of questions about your topic, questions you want badly, even desperately, to have answered. These questions will lead you to those sources that will answer your questions. These questions are the passionate, fiery fuel that guide you through the morass of library work, interviews, etc.
Were Surnames ever used in a derogatory way? When did they start being associated with wealth such as the last names Carnagie, Vanderbilt, etc? Native American surnames and European surnames very simliar in that they were used to describe the person that carried them in some way, were Europeans aware of this? Why are certain surnames much more popular then others? Why are certain surnames distributed across ethnicities and cultures and others are very unique to one particular people? Which culture was the first to use surnames and for what purpose? What is the most common place to derive a surname from, a job, where you're from, family, etc? Did people chose their surnames in the beginning or were they given to them? If so by whom?
