Surname Changes Jongklaas ® Jonklaas Kelaar ® Kelaart Ferdinandus ® Ferdinando or ® Ferdinand or ® Ferdinands Lawrence Joseph ® Joseph Lawrence De Silva ® D’Silva ® Silva (There are also distinct branches of these same names) Von Drieberg ® Anjou ® Von Drieberg ® Drieberg Parber ® Barber Meijer ® Meyer and could also be linked to the family Meier One of the things I have learnt is beware of name/surname changes so as not to discount somebody that you think may not be of your line, these occur in instances like: - 1. Better pronunciation/ less errors in spelling, The name Jongklaas with a G changed to Jonklaas probably due to pronunciation reasons in the country of Ceylon, while in Holland the surname can still be found in its original form another instance is Misso. 2. Assumed names (running away from trouble/family name was disgraced) Anjou-Von Drieberg, Shultz-Van Ranzow 3. Anglicized Parbe-Barber, Smits-Smith, Johannes Henricus-John Henry 4. To create less confusion with another family Kellar and the name Kelaart which at one stage was Kelaar. On my latest discoveries I have found that Joost Kelaar the originator of the Kelaart Line to be actually Joost Kesselaer which goes back to my first reason of Surname Changes for better pronunciation. It is interesting to note that the first name is more of Dutch Origin while the original surname is of German Origin. Perhaps he came from Holland while the past generations came from Germany or near the Border, by looking at your options you can start to look in the right areas. 5. Developments of a name over a period of time De arpes, de Arpa, Del Harpe, de la Harpe 6. Surname change for no apparent reason Landsberger-Borger, Speldewinde-de Boer, Heyzer-McHeyzer 7. Error by the person who logged entry into a book Joustra-Gaustra, Prins-Prinz 8. Marriage Union Male de Zilva & Female van Twest becoming de Zilva-van Twest and later back to van Twest 9. Abbreviated names Percival-Percy, William Edward-Bill, Robert Ian Collin -RIC 10. AKA names Elizabeth-Lizzy, Beth, Bep, Liza, and Bee etc. .

Why Many Dutch Surnames Look So Archaic: the Exceptional Orthographic Position of Names Leendert Brouwer Netherlands
Leendert Brouwer, Netherlands 1 Why Many Dutch Surnames Look So Archaic: The Exceptional Orthographic Position of Names Leendert Brouwer Netherlands Abstract In the 19th century, several scholars in the Netherlands worked on a standardization of spelling of words. Only just after World War II, a uniform spelling was codified. Nobody, however, seemed to care about, or even to think of, an adaptation of the spelling of surnames. In the first decades of the 19th century, due to Napoleon’s enforcement of implementing his Civil Code, all inhabitants were registered with a surname, which from then on never formally changed. This means that the final stage of surname development took place in a period which may be considered as orthographically unstable. For this reason, many names still have many variations nowadays. This often leads to insecurity about the spelling of names. Even someone with an uncomplicated name, such as Brouwer, will often be asked, if the name is written with -au- or with -ou-, although this name is identical with the word ‘brouwer’ (= brewer) and 29,000 individuals bear the name Brouwer with -ou-, while only 40 people bear the name De Brauwer (Brauwer without an article doesn’t even exist). But we easily accept this kind of inconvenience, because people do not expect names to be treated as words. A surname has a special meaning, particularly when it shows an antique aura. *** Leendert Brouwer, Netherlands 2 My name is Brouwer. That should be an easy name to spell in the Netherlands, because my name is written exactly as the noun ‘brouwer’, denoting the trade of my forefather, who must have been a brewer: a craftsman who produces beer.

Claims Resolution Tribunal
CLAIMS RESOLUTION TRIBUNAL In re Holocaust Victim Assets Litigation Case No. CV96-4849 Certified Denial to Claimant [REDACTED} Claimed Account Owner: Louis Meyer1 Claim Numbers: 224442/SB; 300658/SB This Certified Denial is to the claims of [REDACTED} (the Claimant ) to a Swiss bank account potentially owned by the Claimant s relative, Louis (Levi) Meyer (Meier, Maier, Mayer) (the Claimed Account Owner ). All denials are published, but where a claimant has requested confidentiality, as in this case, the names of the claimant, any relatives of the claimant other than the account owner, and the bank have been redacted. Information Provided by the Claimant The Claimant did not state where Louis Meyer, who was Jewish, actually resided, but the CRT notes that what information the Claimant does provide is consistent with Louis Meyer having resided in Gambach, Germany. The CRT s Investigation The CRT matched the name of Louis (Levi) Meyer (Meier, Maier, Mayer) to the names of all account owners in the Account History Database and identified accounts belonging to individuals whose names match, or are substantially similar to, the name of the Claimed Account Owner. In doing so, the CRT used advanced name matching systems and computer programs, and considered variations of names, including name variations provided by Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Authority, in Jerusalem, Israel, to ensure that all possible name matches were identified. However, a close review of the relevant bank records indicated that the information contained therein was inconsistent with the information the Claimant provided regarding the Claimed Account Owner. Accordingly, the CRT was unable to conclude that any of these accounts belonged to the Claimed Account Owner.

TOP SO GERMAN SURNAMES from Mueller (Miller) to Keller (Cellar)
HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL AHNENTAFEL GERMAN GENEALOGY FROM A TO Z TOP SO GERMAN SURNAMES From Mueller (miller) to Keller (cellar) Thili Top 50 list ranks the most common family names in Germany. The list was produced by surveying German surnames found in German telephone books. We have supplemented that list with the English meaning for each German family name. Please note that the English meaning is a translation of the German name and may or may not be a surname actually used in English-speaking countries. For example, the most common German surname is Muller, which means "miller." Miller is a fairly common name in the English-speaking world, and is also a family name derived from an occupation. However, the German last name Keller means "cellar" or "basement." Neither of those words is used as a family name in English, but Keller belongs to a class of names derived from where someone worked, in this case, perhaps a Rathskeller (a cellar pub or restaurant) or a Weinkeller (wine cellar). The German surname is also a fairly common family name in the U.S., including the famous Helen Keller (1880- 1968, born in Alabama). The German word Kellner (waiter) is also related to Keller. However, the name Keller may have other possible origins. Names and their sources are tricky things. This list is not meant as a guide to name ori~ins. It is only intended to be an enjoyable way to discove;r the possible meanings of various German names. Most-Common German Last Names 1. Muller (Mueller, Moller) = miller 26.
