after looking this up and time and time again people posting on here looking for the orgins of where the 'staal name came from and if people are related to each other, it seems like the name originated in a region of germany(now present day borders) to what used to be denmark (past borders)......just seems like even though we all have the same last name or used too , the staal name isnt as rare as i thought it too be when i was younger
