vedder


Origin Displayed: German

Medieval Austria is the ancient homeland of the vedder family. Austria,
which was originally home to a Celtic people, was conquered by the Roman
Empire in about 15 BC. Following the fall of Rome, Austria was repeatedly
invaded by barbarian tribes, such as the Vandals, Visigoths, and Huns, who
swept in from the east. During the 5th and 6th centuries, the Alemanni,
Avars and Slavs settled Austria. The Avars were defeated in 785 by the
Frankish emperor Charlemagne, who set up the East Mark, which later became known as the Österreich. Austria was ruled by the Babenburger dynasty until 1278, when they were succeeded by the Hapsburg dynasty, which ruled Austria until the 20th century.

Spelling variations include: Vetter, Voetter (Bavaria), Votter (Bavaria), Vetters, Vetterle, Voetterl, Vetterling, Vetterlein, Vetterley,
Vetterline, Vedder (northern Germany), Vett, Veth, Vether, Fett, Fetter,
Fetters, Fetterle and many more.

First found in Bavaria, where the name, historically associated with the
landed aristocracy, could be considered to have played a major role in the
feudal society which became the backbone of early development of Europe.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Georg Vetter, who came to Philadelphia in 1729. David Vetter arrived in Philadelphia in 1731; as did Lucas Vetter and his family, Margerita Vetter, and Sophia Vetter. Henrich Vetterley settled in Georgia in 1741. Settling in Texas were Andreas Vetter in 1851.

cameron


Origin Displayed: Scottish

The rugged west coast of Scotland and the desolate Hebrides islands are
the ancestral home of the cameron family. Their name indicates that the
original bearer lived in either Cameron near Edinburgh, Cameron in Lennox,
or Cameron in Fife. Thus, the name Camerons of the Lowlands is of
territorial origin, from one of the three places so called. The Highland
clan name Cameron may come from the Lowland name, but it is also derived
from the Gaelic word "cam-shron," which means "wry" or "hook-nosed." The
Cameron Clan was described as 'Fiercer than fierceness itself' and it was
reputed to be one of the most ancient clans of Scotland. The hereditary
name of the chiefs of the Clan is MacDhomnuill Duibh, from their ancestor
"Black Donald." The first assured chief of the clan was not found until
1411, when Donald Du reigned in that year. Following this date, the clan
split into three separate branches, one each at Letterfinlay, Strone and
Glen Nevis, with the clan seat at Lochaber.

Spelling variations include: Cameron, MacGuillonies, MacSorlies and many
more.
First found in Angus where they were traditionally descended from the
Kings of Denmark and assisted in the restoration of King Fergus II in the
year 404.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: the
group who arrived on the ships, the "Sarah" and the "Dove" in Upper Canada
in 1801; their holds filled with 700 Camerons and Frasers from the
Lochaber country. The Camerons also settled in the U.S.A. in Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, St. Christopher, Virginia, New York, Georgia,
and California, in the 18th and 19th centuries. In Newfoundland, Alexander
Cameron settled in St. John's in 1744.
