   ANDERSON / MacANDREW / GILLANDERS, etc., are all surnames with the name ‘ANDREW' at the heart, which is a Greek name meaning "manly" which is claimed to have been in use for well over two thousand years. Perhaps the most famous man to bear the name was the first Disciple of Christ, who became the Patron Saint of not only Russia, Rumania, Prussia, Amalfi and Patras in Greece, but also of Scotland. Legend has it that the relics of St. Andrew were brought under supernatural guidance by St. Regulus from Constantinople to the place where the modern St. Andrews now stands. Whether this is true or not, it was about the middle of the 10th century, when St. Andrew became the Patron Saint of Scotland and the use of Andrew as a Christian name subsequently became widely popular. Going by the number of English parish churches dedicated to St. Andrew, it is also clear that the name became very popular in widespread areas throughout the British Isles and even ranked a mention of one "Andreas" in the Doomsday Book of 1086." In England, the registers of "The Guild of Corpus Christi of the City of York" reveal one 'Androson' in 1455 and an 'Androwson' in 1482. The name Anderson has proliferated wherever emigres from these shores ended up and due to the particular popularity of the name in Scotland, this often, but not exclusively, leads back to Scottish ancestry for large numbers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.

   Likewise, theories that the name Anderson has somehow undergone a transformation from various Celtic forerunners such as MacAndrew, Gillanders, or MacGhilleAindrias, have not so far stood up to the light of fresh research.

   The Association's journal "The Andrean" is published each year, together with several newsletters that serve to disseminate information with anecdotes, articles, heraldry, and specific family histories, building a comprehensive library of suitable reference material for the benefit of members and providing a focal point for all those interested in the name of Anderson.
   ...
   The mid 16th century recording in the books of the Lord Lyon King of Arms of an individual styled "Anderson of that Ilk" ('Anderson of Anderson' or 'Chief of the name') could have many explanations. We do not even know the first name of this character, and to date his family have not been identified and consequently there has been no record of the succession of this name & style, which admittedly, could have resulted in the establishment of a hereditary chiefship if there had been so. But in fact no great Anderson Chief ever led us into battle broadsword in hand, and no distinct family of the name has ever received such recognition by the Lord Lyon. In recent years, an attempt was made to establish firstly a "Commander" of the 'Clan Anderson' (sic), which subsequently developed into the idea of the same candidate becoming "Chief" of the so- called Clan.

   The publication of the book "Anderson Families" in 1984 by Michael Arthur Anderson, was a milestone marking the turn from myth and legend towards a more consummate approach to Anderson family history, leading to a meeting between David and Michael that ultimately developed into the formation of our Association.

   Michael Anderson, lead partner of the Anderson, Agostino and Keller law firm in South Bend, said advertising is essential to gain name recognition in the highly competitive, ego-driven personal injury attorney field.
   
   Anderson should know. He used to be the "Anderson" in Sweeney, Pfeifer, Anderson and Morgan from 1990 to 1996. His current firm avoids the ad wars, he said, following instead the mantra of his father, who used to say an attorney should stand on reputation alone.
   
   "I'll never do it again," he said of fighting for telephone book covers, broadcast time and billboards.

   Anderson believes Kusbach is a good man who got in too deep and perhaps lost his perspective.

   On the other hand, Anderson said, serving clients is the top priority.

   "The trust account itself is a very sacred thing," Anderson said. "It's never the lawyer's money."
