My father received a book containing the same coat of arms and description. My grandfather always said we were Dutch. The description "one who came from, or lived near Frisa". Is this in Holland? I searched and there was at one time some provinces "Frisia" (different spelling)in northern Holland. Does any one have Friesen's traced back to Holland?
