      My family originated in the Cumbria England area, also the area of Lake Windermere. One of the things pasted down from my Grandfather, Roy Maynard Winders, his father Edward Licurgus, and his father, John Winders(a veteran of the Civil War) was the pronouncation of our name. They said it was wind (as wind through the trees) not as winding yarn. It's really great to hear so many different Winders being found.
