ArchivesRe: The German surname "Gallwas"
in reply to a message by Mburnash
You can use the site http://www.gen-evolu.de/ to search German phone books for Gallwas (also try the spelling variant Galwas). There are some phones registered to that name, but with no particular geographical pattern.
Alltho' I'm German I have no ideas on the name origin and meaning.

Thanks for your reply!
Today there is in Germany the surname "Gallwas," but in the thousands of archives I have looked through, there were no Gallwas in the 19th century. Thus, I am not able to trace the person on my family tree.
The URL you sent me I have seen before, but I have been mystified over the present day usage of this name since there are none in ANY archive within the years of the 1800's -1900's for which I am searching.
