Drougge/Droga and Knaut/Kneut
I had some Waloon ancestors whose surname was Droga (which become Drougge in Sweden). Anyone who knows what that means?

I also had a Polish ancestor - strange thing is, he didn't have a Polish surname. His surname was something like Knaut or Kneut (I only know it was pr. "knoyt" (with oy as in "boy").

I am Swedish and my ancestors are from Norrbotten in the northwest.
