BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SELF FAMILY IN THE UNITED STATES
Most researchers believe that Olde Robert Selfe was the ancestor of
most of the Self family in America. Arriving in Virginia in the 1600s,
Robert Selfe appears to have been descended from Walter Selfe of
Cripplegate, London,
England. The name "Self"
is thought to be a shortened version of "Seawolf," dating back
to the early Viking voyages along the English coast. Many courageous
Selfs
became pioneers in our country's expansion westward, and the
descendants
of Robert Selfe were soon residents of the Southeastern United States
from
Virginia to Texas with several families settling in the midwest. Today,
the Self name can be found in all fifty states.
Who
was Walter Selfe? Read the article at "Self Seekers," January
1999, and
