Hi all, Does anyone know the meaning of the name Zolkos? It comes from Poland as far as I know, (my husband is Polish), but we get a lot of people thinking that it comes from anywhere but Poland!!!! Thanks Tania Zolkos [email protected]
Hi all, Does anyone know what the name Neunhoffer is derived from? It comes from my German relatives and is either spelt Neunhoffer (with two dots over the o) or Neunhoeffer. Does it originally come from Germany? I have traced this name as far back as the 1500's. Thanks Tania Zolkos [email protected]

Hi, Neunhoffer is a variant of Neuhofer/Neuenhofer which means "person from the Neuhof". Neuhof would be the "new farm", so Neunhoffer = person from the new farm.

Does anyone know if there is an online site that gives the genealogy of specific surnames? If so, I would surely like to have it. Latricia
This is the third time that name (Monzingo) has appeared on this board. I can't find the meaning anywhere. My memory tells me a Monzingo family came to New Netherland (now New York City) in the 1600's or 1700's. They would have been Protestants and probably Huguenots. Monzingo may have come from one of the Spanish soldiers who married a Netherlander woman. You may post a query here: [email protected] Even if you don't, I will. Gary Radcliffe [email protected]
Couldn't find the name as given but did find "NEUN". It means nine or nineth. Also found "HOFFER". It means manager of a cloister farm. So, perhaps the name means something like "Nineth Manager of the Cloister Farm". Or "Manager of the Nineth Cloister Farm". Or "Manager of the farm in the Nineth Cloister".

WOW. That was really interesting. There are still many Brasching's in Germany (37) I found. My ggg grand dad's name was changed at immigration. Only by chance did I find out the deletion of the C in the name. Thank you. I wonder why they added the ing centuries ago? Will keep searching for Darrar. Very elusive.

Hi! I'm a descendant of both the Derwas and Bengry families and I believe both of them to be unique. I'd really like to know how to get more info on the BENGRYs other than the Census info. They were from Shropshire. Some of them went over to America and it would be great to know more about this side. Also my great aunts researched the DERWAS side of my family tree along way back (to the 7th century) but we don't have all their info and don't know where to look esp since they'll be very old documents. The DERWASs were from Wales and related to the Princes of Powys - any ideas! Thanks alot Luv Elizabeth Jones
