John
Sandiford of New Brunswick, Canada offers this anecdote as an
explanation as to how “Sandiford”
became a surname. “Seventy miles south of Oslo, Norway, is a pretty
little port of Sandefjord and this is where it all started about 900 AD.
Sandefjord was a
flourishing seaport prior to Oslo. The crews of Viking ships took their
name from their homeport when raiding the coasts of the British Isles.
Many were wrecked and failed to return to their homeland and were
assimilated into the community where they were stranded and took their
name from where they came. This is vouched for by the many Scandinavian
place names along the Northeast coast of
Scotland & England and the
Northwest coast of Ireland.
