These family names for the most
part have come out of Austria
though il is by no means improb-
able that in individual instances they
may represent modern changes from
the similar German names beginning
in "Sulz.'
They are all place names. That is
to say. they became family names
following their use i'm the first place
to denote the place from which Il
man or his parents had come from.
Salzburg was the name of a town
and also of a duchy in upper Austria
bordering on the Tyrol and Bavaria.
Both the town and the .duchy of
which 1t was the capital were infu-
ential In the middle ages as being
the seat of line of archbishops who
were prominent in that Teutonic en-
pire known as the holy Roman em-
pire.
The name, as might be conjectured
means the salt city," and the region
was more or less noted for the de-
posits of salt there.
