SURNAME ORIGINS

The surname Gartz and its variants are likely derived from a locality. There is a place near Euskirchen in the Mechernich called Obergartzem, and in this place there are places called "Gartzemer Street" and "Gartzemer Way". This location is about 30 minutes south of where my ancestors lived.

No information on the surname Zeumers is available.
