What country is the last name Ganong originally from?

Question

I've been trying to do some genealogy and found a great great grandmother whose last name was Ganong. Does anyone know what the country of origin is? Thanks.

Answer 1

Canada, as best as I can determine.

It sounds Asian but it's not.

Answer 2

New Brunswick, Canada--here are some people with that last name in New Brunswick: http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/S...

I found one source that placed that last name as a Native American surname.

But...my guess is Canada.

Answer 3

Southeast Asian- Vietnam, Thai, Cambodian or Laotian most likely.  I have known a few folks from this part of the world over the years so I'm playing a hunch that it is one of these countries.  Good luck~ Spence
