Does anyone have any idea what the German (Prussian?) surname DREHMER means? I have DREHMERs in my mother's ancestry who came to American from Niederlinxweiler in Saarland, Germany (part of old Prussia) in the early 1800s, & settled in Livingston Co., NY. In some US Census Records the surname is misspelled phonetically as "DRAMER". DREHMERs are found in records in St Wendel, Saarland in "kinderbuchs" covering the villages of Niederlinxweiler, Ottweiler, & Remmesweiler, beginning in the late 1700s. Some remained in Saarland, Germany, some emigrated in the 1800s to the US, Poland (whence to Brazil?), & some directly to Brazil. These DREHMERs were mainly Stoneworkers, Stonecutters & masons, although some were also subsistance farmers. Many were accomplished musicians, mainly violinists. Halsey
