where is this last name from? and what does it mean?
i am having a lot of trouble with this. my name was changed when my dad came to the US, and i am looking for the background of the original name, "Berestjaner", and he does not pronounce the j when he says it. his family is from eastern europe but i really do not know where this name is from exactly, because they did a lot of traveling i think. if anybody could even just give me a country that this may be from, that would help me...
