Tour Scotland photograph of the David Goodall Celtic Cross Gravestone in the Abbey cemetery in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. A graveyard is at the north, south, and east of the church, and there are also some gravestones against the west boundary wall.
This interesting surname has two possible origins. The first being a metonymic occupational name for a brewer of good ale, deriving from the medieval English " gode " meaning " good " plus " ale ", ale or malt liquor. Among the earliest settlers in the New World were Robert Goodall, aged 30, and his wife Katherin, aged 28, who departed from Ipswich, England, aboard the ship named Elizabeth, bound for New England, in April 1634.
