Historical References
"SWINE. "There has long existed in the village of Swinton a family of Swines, the head of which, towards the end of the eighteenth century, asked and obtained permission from the lord of the manor to change the name to Swinton, 'on account of the nastiness of the beast.' The permission was never acted on" (Swinton, p. In). In connection with this name a story in a Renton charter is worth relating. The charter records that Roger de Riston hired John 'porcarius' (i.e. swineherd) as his substitute in a wager of battle. The swineherd was the victor, and received a toft and croft and three acres of Great Reston as his fee, which he then granted to the Priory of Durham (Raine, 397 et seq.). Laurence Swyn, burgess of Aberdeen, 1294 (REA., i, p. 35). Adam Swyn of Rystone, Berwickshire, rendered homage, 1296 (Bain, n, p. 206). Crispinie Swyne in Dunfermline, 1581 (Dunfermline), and Margaret Swyne in St. Andrews, 1589 (St. Andrews, p. 645). David Swyne, baker in Edinburgh, 1620 (Edinb. Marr.), and Crispine or Crispinion Swyne was church elder in Dysart, 1641 (PBK., p. 209). Perhaps a shortened form of Old English (Anglo-Saxon) Sigetoine ('wise friend') through the form Siwine.

Birth, Death and Marriage Records for the Swine Family Tree
Birth, Death and Marriage records are often the best method of making the links to the Swine Genealogy that will form part of your family tree. Although records vary from country to country, they are normally the most formal record of a person's relations. From the sources below you will be able to find a birth record and, from that, a birth certificate can be ordered which lists the names of the mother and father, taking you back another generation in your tree. A marriage certificate may also list the names of the respective fathers of the bride and groom which may then help you to find them earlier in life on a census record enabling you to fill out more detail in the Swine family tree.
