I was wondering if anyone could give me information as to the meaning of these surnames:
Schutte
Vogel - Oh, got this one! Sorry.
Kottkamp
I believe these are all German.
And also, would anyone be able to include information about:
Roland?
Both parents of this person were born and raised in Wales, so I assumed the name was Welsh, though the more I think about it, the less I think that is so.
Thanks so much. :)
ETA - Info at Vogel.

Schutte - possibly the same as the surname Schute, denoting a sailing vessel of some sort. The word appears to be obsolete, I'm not sure as I can't read German.
Kottkamp - surname Kamp is explained as Low German for field, pasture, copse, so a place name. I'm assuming Kottkamp is too. The Dutch surnames database lists this, and describes it as "Adresnamm", which I take to means "habitation name". Dutch or German? Maybe both.
