What is the best prepaid company in Switzerland?

According to the company website, Smucker came from Switzerland. But what does the surname Schucker mean?

  • http://www.smuckers.com/family_company/history/family_name.aspx Before the famous jams, jellies and all that, what would have been the occupation of the Schmucker family based upon the surname's meaning?

  • Answer:

    Are you looking for Schucker or Schmucker? Schmucker means 'more neatly,' according to babel fish. The 300+ Schmuckers who migrated from Germany and Switzerland could have had many occupations. Many who migrated were farmers in the old country and were farmers when they settled in the US.

http://familytimeline.webs.com/originsofsurnames.htm how surnames came about...............but this is just a fun thing to do/know it has nothing to do with FH as not everyone with the same surname are related and they all would not originate from the same country.........it depend on YOUR family ancestors and where their ancestors originated.....it also doesn't mean for sure your ancestors did the job, lived in the place or looked like something to get a surname.... they may have just decided they liked it so used it.............research your ancestry and you will find out what jobs the did, where they lived etc etc
