Surnames: Cuthbertson aka Godbertsz
While researching the Separatists and Puritains in the Netherlands prior to their going to New England I came across this and thought it might interest someone. I have seen the name on lists for the early settlers, possibly the Mayflower.
"Joining the group in Leiden were several Walloons and a man named Godbert Godbertsz. (known in Plymouth Colony as Cuthbert Cuthbertson) described as "from Eastland" ("uit Oostland"), a vague geographical term used to indicate any place along the Baltic coast, usually, however, referring to Dantzig."
