Ancestry.com offers: "Alexander Name Meaning - Scottish, English, German, Dutch; also found in many other cultures: from the personal name Alexander, classical Greek Alexandros, which probably originally meant 'repulser of men (i.e. of the enemy)', from alexein 'to repel' + andros, genitive of aner 'man'. Its popularity in the Middle Ages was due mainly to the Macedonian conqueror, Alexander the Great (356-323 bc) - or rather to the hero of the mythical versions of his exploits that gained currency in the so-called Alexander Romances. The name was also borne by various early Christian saints, including a patriarch of Alexandria (ad c.250-326), whose main achievement was condemning the Arian heresy. The Gaelic form of the personal name is Alasdair, which has given rise to a number of Scottish and Irish patronymic surnames, for example McAllister. Alexander is a common forename in Scotland, often representing an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name."
Alphonso reigned 739-57 as the first regular ruler of the nascent kingdon of Asturias. He is son of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria, a Christian leader. Alphonso's marriage with Ermesinda united Cantabria and Asturias under his rule when Fafila, Ermesinda's brother, was killed by a bear in 739. Alphonso began the first counteroffensive against the Muslims - while they were engaged in a civil war between Arabs and Berbers after 740, and during the great famine of 748-753.

From: Bryant Smith [skip1@ix.netcom.com] 11 Oct 1998: "I decided your tree was most probably mostly correct in a long morning of study. Here's why:
"I. Tompsett's Directory [etc.] is wrong in at least two regards, at least if my Encyclopedia Britannica is right. It sets forth two key facts: A. Aurelio was a "brother or cousin" of Fruela son of Alfonso I. Tompsett satisfies this requirement by making Aurelio the son of Fruela of Cantabria (son of Pedro), and Pedro the father of Alfonso I; hence making Pedro the grandfather of both Aurelio and Fruela of Asturias. However, B. Silon was a brother-in-law of Aurelio. Tompsett's own database shows that Silon m. Adosinda, dau of Alfonso I. So (unless Silon had a sister who m. Aurelio, of which there is no indication) Aurelio must be a brother of Adosinda, and therefore a son of Alfonso I not of Fruela of Cantabria.
"II. I think however that your identification of "Vimaranus" as the wife of Aurelius is mistaken. E.B. sheds no light on the issue, but Tompsett's database shows a Vimerano son of Alfonso I. I suggest that "Vimeranus" (the gender of the word is wrong for a daughter) was brother not wife of Aurelius. It doesn't make a difference genealogically, but it adds interest to the mystery of the mediaeval murders.
"III. Fruela of Asturias died 768, "murdered by his brother" [E.B.]: Which brother? Vimarano died in 767, "murdered" [Tompsett]: By whom? Were both Fruela and Vimarano murdered, or does Tompsett have it wrong? If Tompsett is right and Vimarano was Fruela's brother, and if my logic above is sound and Aurelio was also Fruela's brother, and Fruela and Vimarano were both murdered, then the brother who murdered Fruela was either Vimarano or Aurelio (unless there are missing brothers! {e.g. Bermundo?}); and if Vimarano was murdered after Fruela, the murderer of Vimarano may well have been Aurelio. E.B. does not mention Vimarano, nor does it identify any brother of Fruela except possibly Aurelio [as "brother or cousin"]. I infer that if Aurelio had murdered Fruela then E.B. (a) would not be in doubt over Aurelio's relationship to Fruela and (b) would have named Aurelio as Fruela's murderer. Ergo, I infer that the murderer-brother of Fruela was Vimarano.
"IV. Was Aurelio the father of Bermundo I? Very interesting in this regard is your note on Aurelius, citing Lomax indicating Aurelio was brother rather than father of Bermudo and leaving open whether their father was Fruela son of Pedro, or Alfonso {son of Pedro}. Tompsett does make them brothers, but sons of Fruela son of Pedro. But Tompsett is wrong, at least as to Aurelio (vide supra), as to their paternity. So Lomax' position boils down to this, that Bermudo was either a son, or a grandson, of Alfonso I. E.B. supports this vagueness by referring to Bermudo as a "descendant of Alphonso I." And the available dates leave sufficient room for doubt, but I see no good reason for giving Aurelio another brother and muddying the murder mystery!
"V. Your note on Alphonso I refers to the Fafila who was killed by a bear as Ermesinda's brother but E.B. says he was Pelayo's brother (Ermesinda's uncle). BTW your database does not include him in either position!"

[24806] Perhaps Anna was b. in Germany. The Burkett's file on Ancestry.com in 2009 states she and Valentine m. 25 April 1757 in the Evangelical Church, Beiber, Germany, and that their first three children were born in Germany. Ancestry.com offers: "Baldauf Name Meaning - South German: from the Germanic personal name Baldolf (bold wolf), altered by folk etymology as if it were a combination of Middle High German bald soon + auf up (earlier uf), and hence taken as a nickname for a rash or intolerant person, quick to judge, or for an early riser."
