Brandenburg: what does that stand for?
The name Brandenburg is used by different Dutch families from:
- Kampen
- Hasselt
- Zwolle
- Deventer
- Amsterdam
- Terschelling
- Wormerveer
- Rotterdam
Where the spelling varies between Brandenburgh, van Brandenburg en Brandenburch.
I have not found any relationship between these families up to now.
The genealogy I have published is concerning the family from Terschelling.
About the other families many data has been collected bij Mr. F.E.Brandenburg from Almelo.
Meaning of the name Brandenburg:
About the meaning of the name we are not sure yet.
Of course it is possible that there are links with the German Brandenburg, but that can also be limited to a sympathy for that country.
There are also some farms with the nam eof Brandenburg, but what is cause and effect we do not know up to now.
Genealogists who want to do further investigantions on these families have a nice job left.
