Hello,
my name is David Berland and unfortunately, though being looking for my ancestors, they turn out to come from Carcassonne and Revel, in the Aude department (11), in the Languedoc Roussillon region in the south of France.
Maybe they would have come from Alsace according to vague memories from my grand mother, but this is a clue I have not digged yet.
This hypothesis seems to make sense since Berland sounds very "Saxon" or germanic in a way... (the land of ber (?)...), but my poor knowledge of northern languages does not allow me to go further.
Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have further informations on my name's origins or are interested in my genealogic tree and the possibility to make a link with yours.
sincerely yours,
David Berland
