    I keep watching these videos hoping to hear my name. Sadly my great grandfather wanted our heritage lost and it was never spoken of.

    Not only the names, what they mean or where they come from.<br>It&apos;s your way of presenting it that is intriguing and enjoyable.<br>Thank you for being willing to have a lot of people badger you about their last name.<br>You have taken on quite a task.

    Did you read my description in a previous comment about the Schirrmacher Wappen? &nbsp;It has three horizontal stripes - purple, yellow-gold, and blue. &nbsp;In the purple is a golden mitre (or crown), and in the bottom yellow and blue is a large knight&apos;s armored arm and hand holding a sword. &nbsp;On the sword is the laurel wreath. &nbsp;Your description of the laurel wreath reminded me of the wreath on the sword on the coat of arms. &nbsp;A Schirrmacher in my family was a Teutonic knight from Mewe, Westpreußen, supposedly was a Crusader. &nbsp;The surname means &quot;harness-maker.&quot;

    My family’s Irish surname is McDuffie and the German surname is Reuff (Ruff). I would love to learn the history behind these names.

    I’m in Brisbane, Australia &amp; I would really love to know what the meaning is of my German Grandmother whose surname was Gardoll / Gardol. She came from the wine growing town of Eltville on the Rhine in Hesse. All her family emigrated to Australia.

    Gerhauser- house of spears, not sure if it is a tradesman derivative or as a protector. Hauser, Haussen are they from the same root and their meaning.
