Schultz Family Crest

Schultz Family Crest
For years I've been poking around trying to find any sign of this "ghost" of a father who participated in my creation. The one person who can tell me anything is completely disinterested in seeking him out. It's not her problem whatsoever in her mind. So I poke and I half-ass search...if he was somewhat interested in being found I'd probably have picked up SOMETHING after all of these years on the internet. For now, I only have our mutual last name with no leads...It's that whole needle in the haystack...

Schultz


Origin Displayed: German

Origins Available: German, Dutch

The name Schultz comes from one of those ancient dukedoms, territories and states that would eventually form a part of present day Germany. At its birth in the Middle Ages, it was used to indicate someone who worked as a town-mayor derived from the medieval name "Schultheis" which has the same meaning.

Spelling variations include: Schultz, Schultheis, Schultes, Schultz, Schultze, Schulz, Scholz and many more.

First found in Switzerland, where branches of this estimable family were elevated to the ranks of the nobility and came to possess great political influence.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Esther Susanna Schultheis, who came to America with her five children in 1709. The first bearer of the variation "Schultz" to arrive was Anna Elizabeth Schultz, who came to New York City in 1710. Other Schultz members arrived in Philadelphia after 1725.
