Once again thanks for lots of interesting information. I found two places
called "Entepoel" in the Netherlands, as well as onne Street by that name. I
could imagine that the Enddepoel/Entepoel families originated from those
places. I think the fact that there is at least one family called "van
Entepoel" further support this.The East-West matter is a little difficult.
Many of the -pohl/poel/pol names can be found further eastwards (in
Eastphalia, Mecklenburg, Pommerania, Prussia) but those are probably
migrated  lowlanders.

The name "Pohl" however can also indicate that the original bearer came from
Poland. This might cause a little confusion in areas such as the Ruhrgebiet
with many Polish immigrants during the last centuries melted into a
LL-population. I guess the same is true for the US



The Swanson-name was interesting ... Not a variant of old Norse Svensson?



Greetings

Beste Lowlanders,

Er bestaat inderdaad een Nederlands Verklarend Woordenboek van Koenen -
Endepols.

Dit doet er mij aan denken dat ook de familienamen Brepoels en Brepols in
Vlaanderen/Nederland voorkomen.

Remember that there's a large seaside town or city called Poole adjacent
to Bournemouth in Dorset, England. Accordingly, the surname
"Poole" (with the exact same spelling) is quite often encountered in
England.

It seems to me that "Swanson" is a fairly common surname in Scotland -
at least there are quite a few Swansons in my village though of course
it's all one family. I don't know the derivation though.
