<Sigh. The very first person to test in my new project has proven one
of us an NPE with our surname. I am an M222, this Laminack is a J2.
The search goes on.

That's disappointing news, Steve. But isn't Lamineck thought to be a
territorial surname and not patrilineal? If so you might have a number
of different unrelated people taking the surname from the same location.
I have a Van Liewen line from Utrecht, the Netherlands, French
Huguenots who left Belgium for the Netherlands in the 1600s. Their
surname is thought to derive from the city of Lueven in Belgium. If so
you could have any number of families with the same surname. Maybe you
just haven't found the right Lamineck sample yet.
