BRIGHT Family History
This is a Medieval English nickname or given name meaning 'bright', 'fair' or 'beautiful'. The name derives from the Olde English pre 7th century 'beorht' meaning 'bright' or 'shining'. It may also be a short form of the Olde English personal name Beorhthelm - a compound of the elements 'beorht' - bright and 'helm' a helmet. The surname is first recorded in the mid 13th century. Alternate spellings of the name have included le Brythe (1278) and Brite (1279). One Adam Bright appears in the 1296 'Subsidy Rolls of Sussex'.

Michael Lee Bright
Hello my name is Michael bright. Im born in Mississippi america and I've only ever met a handful of my family and most of those were years ago when I was a child and have lost contact with all brights due to circumstances unseen. I've always been told we are of Irish decent, so that's somewhere to start. I'm only 30 years old and I have always had a yearning to learn our past and maybe discover that which was taken from me. Family. Please let me know anything else I can offer to help.
Eagerly awaiting your response, Michael Lee Bright
