[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Name inquiries for Misner, Zwerin, Melamed, Feuer, and Landberg

[rbbtfarm]

Hi List,

I have a couple name questions:

John M., you mentioned your dictionary of German names. I would be interest 
info on some names, if it wouldn't be inconvenient - ZWERIN or some 
alternative spelling close to that, possibly SWERIN? Also the names FEUER, 
MELAMED, and LANDBERG. This last name doesn't seem German to me, but it is 
not only German, but Jewish. These lines are probably all from Eastern 
Europe, but I don't have anything more definite than that. They are Ellis 
Island emigrants. Just haven't located them yet.

Someone mentioned MEISSER. I am researching the name of MISNER. Could the 
latter be a variant spelling of the German name? This is a pre-Ellis Island 
line. The emigrant may go back to the American Revolution.

Any observations on any of these names such as locations, alternate 
spellings, meaning, etc. Anyone else looking for these names?

Thanks for any and all info....  Tricia M.
