Mostly my ancestry is French and German with surnames including:
--COURTOUISE, var. COURTOIS, COURTAWAY, COURTOWAY, COURTWAY, and a mystery "same as" surname of CANNEAU or KENO]. Possible translation to English: "courteous."
--ROULEAU, var. RULO, is also French. Possible translation to English: "roll" or "scroll."
--SCHIEFFERDECKER, var. SHIVERDECKER, SHIVERDECK, SHIVERTAKER is German. Possible translation to English: a ship's carpenter, with a "shiver" referring to wood. SWEEZEY, is French and has too many variations to list.
--Lastly, TURRENTINE, var. TURNTINE, is of unproven origin, maybe Turkish, Irish, or Italian.
