Hey.. recently I uncovered a thing about people with our name in Terschelling in The Netherlands dating way back.Anyway, it went on to list our family sheild.It was a blue background, with an armored arm holding a sword erect, next to a set of hands around a fleurs-de-lis (the fleurs-de-lis typically associated with french royalty).Now, I don't know if this name came from France or Belgium, but it had those clues in it.My dad had blonde hair and blue eyes (which is why I'm confused because it all sounds like and is in the Netherlands I guess) and fair skin but I can no longer ask him on account of him leaving some long time ago.Anyway, if you have any more info or ideas about what this may mean or anything, let me know!I have no idea where he came from, but I'm pretty sure it's from the Netherlands/Belgium area because of my looks and my mother's words about him.I just really wonder where it originated from.
