Re: Meaning of Surname Bollinger?
in reply to a message by Wes
Wes,The name originates in Germanic area of Europe, and has to do with a river I will have to dig out my copy of the family tree. The family first came to the US and settled in the Pennsylvania area. Part of the Family then moved to South Carolina which then had some of those move onto Missouri. My part of the family branches off of the Missouri branch and moves onto California.I don't put much stock into the house of names meaning of the name but it might be accurate, but our family comes from the Swiss/German Lineage.

Hi!! I have been trying to find information on my last name meaning/origin as well as my family history. Maybe someone here can help? I keep getting dead ends and cannot afford the DNA/genealogy tests nor the fees some sites charge to give you information 😕 Can anyone help or lead me in the right direction that doesn't cost any money?? Lol I would be forever grateful.
