I looked into one of my branches on my family tree -- my dad's mother's branch. Her grandfather (my great great grandfather) came from Germany arround 1840.
I looked into my name (maiden name) after I heard from TV that a guy by the same name is one of the 'big guys' at Anhauser Busch in Germany (& the same 1st name as my bro.) so I just got interested. The meaning of the name is a miller ("works at a mill" & barley a beer ingredient). The suffix MAN was maybe added to that(maybe it means "man who is a miller"??). They added MAN or SON to lots of names or words, for instance maybe JOHNSON means John's Son.
My mother's mom (or was it her mom's mom?) came from Hungary.
