My Duhrmann's came from Goeritz Prussia- I don't know where before that. I'd be glad to hear from any cousins. (.....snip.....) **************END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT************** Hello Cassandra. I just wish that I could trace my DURMAN line back to Europe and see if we can find any connections to your DUHRMANN line. I have found many variant spellings of the name in every Western and Eastern European country. One of these days we may be able to tie most of them together. I am saving your post along with others this List has received on surname variants. It may provide valuable clues some day. Regards, SgtGeorge George W.
