BRADT - instead of brot (bread) i'd rather prefer braten (roast) - so it might be a name for a cook. i only find the name brade with that explanation. jurgen *********************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: LaChance <lachance@ccis.com> To: <SURNAME-ORIGINS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2003 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Some of mine > LEAZONBY ? > > HARNESS, HARNISH (English) One who made armor and harness. > > PATTON, PATTEN, PATTIN (English) > 1.
