Everyone knows that Szarmach is a polish soccer.He's not from my family but that's a german surname but I don't have any german heritage(my great-grandfather isn't german) it's Scharmach - you know.It's typical pomeranian surname.

Can you explain me what's the meaning of it?
I mean Poland was under german occupation / germanization
Or maybe they're just NICE germans who converted to catholicism.
I'm asking because my father wants me to
They're from polish pomeranian village and fighting in polish army in 1st and 2nd war :D yaaay
I'm not volksdeutsch haha
I don't really care because they're polish and so what :D they're not germans YEEES
The surname itself isn't very popular in Germany because I've checked the worldwide maps...It's common only in Poland :D

My surname now is Szarmach because after 2nd war they've changed the surname but we don't know why but we don't really care

Is my closest blood-related ancestor german?

My great grandmother is Schuster and they also fought in polish army in 1st war :D
So they're traitors :D it's like the germans rejected their heritage :D
Also I've heard there in that area were poor german jews but that's nearly impossible and they were both catholic by that time

In that village majority of polish people lived.
I wanted to take the DNA test to check if they're german because Bernard Scharmach and Klara Schuster are evil sneaky Poles.
I think I can trace down german ancestry.
No I don't have a tree after 1851.

btw I'm a girl and I'm 20 and I'm crazy about my lovely blood traitors
I want to take DNA TEST

I live in Poland and I don't want to move anywhere.I can speak english perfectly because everything I do is perfect

SZARMACH: from German Schermacher (ploughshare maker). The "share" in the English word comes from the same root.

Since I can speak german a little bit I've discovered that it's lacking of -er and it should be Schermacher but I don't kno who it is and that's not my surname , it's changed and I'm scared because I've read on american websites that most of makers are jews

but since I don't have -er that makes me simply "scharmach" which without -er means ploughman not the ploughmaker
Ploughman fits a person of polish descent
and I really hope that I'm not a poor german jew(there wasn't many polish jews in Kociewie area)
I'm of polish descent from village lol...And indeed people from my family were farmers

Merged:

history of Scharmach name



I was a Shermer. We have a bible of great, great uncle named Authur Scharmach. We know he was send to the USA by his mother to avoid draft into the Prussian Army. Any idea of place of origin? I was told we are German, but maybe we are polish?
