ANSTHRLD - Patronymic sources

[Richard Culver]

Wesaþ ge hal!

   I was curious if anyone has specific sources for patronyms in Old 
English.  I am familiar with the "-ing", but I have seen various forms of 
"X-es dohtor" or "X-es sunu".  I was wondering when the shift was made.  Was 
it a result of the Dane Law?  The only geneological texts I have seen are 
Royal geneologies and those use the "-ing" element.
