Shurmer Genealogy
Welcome to the Shurmer Family Tree
The name Shurmer, and all it's 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 mostly 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, but mostly 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.
