Question: Where is this surname from!?
Hey, I was wondering where my old family name Uhmusberg might be from!. My older relatives say it's from the Netherlands, but I can't really find anyone from the Netherlands with that surname!.!.!. I live in Finland, and have a Finnish surname nowadays, but I've been considering changing it back to the original!.
So if anybody knows better, please tell me!.
I know that my family has been living in Finland for the last two centuries, and before arriving to Finland my family stayed in Sweden, becoming a Finnish-Swede family!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only references I can find are in fact for Finland, the name appears to be, perhaps of German or Austrian origin!.
I have just found this, it is Polish but I do not have a clue about what it says

Neither www!.ancestry!.com or www!.rootsweb!.com had any listings!. I couldn't find any names similar even in the Netherlands, so it must have been long before decent records were kept if your family name originated there,Www@QuestionHome@Com
