Welcome to the Shurmer Family Tree

The name Shurmer (Shermer) and all it's other variants, is thought to have derived from the Anglo-Saxon, and referred to a 'dweller by the bright pool'. It is a fairly rare surname and originally found in the south-west of England.

This Shurmer (Shermer) family started in Gloucestershire, England and remained there for about eight generations. From there they spread to many places, with a large number emigrating to Australia. There are still Shurmers in Gloucestershire - mostly Cheltenham, and my great grandmother was from one of those lines.

Currently my Family Tree contains over 11,000 individuals - too many for a single web site. Therefore the main surname groups in the tree have each been given their own web site.
