Quiney / Quinney and Quinet ????
I dont have any knowledge about genealogy and was quite surprised to learn about the existence of the Quiney surname. My surname is Quinet ( supposedly a french surname ) and i just wondered if those names were not linked somehow. Its not the spelling that intrigates me but the prononciation. Quiney and Quinet are just prononced the same way in both english and french. Therefore i can easily imagine an englishman named Quiney coming into france and having his name transformed to Quinet ( the opposite would be true too ). As I am focusing on the origin of both names the informations on found on the net are not very helpfull.
Anyone able to give me hints ( or the answer ) to this question ?
