As Im of the 57 heinz variety having Irish / Polish / Russian / German / French roots Ive found out just this afternoon that my surname has Anglo-Scottish origins too!!
A irish gentlemen saw my comments on a Proud to be an Irish Person on Facebook and sent me a link to a websire to find out the origins of one's surname - check out www.Surnamedb.com - it's free!
My older sister whom lives in Williamsburg, Virginia compiled a Genealogy report for us all I think back before my Mother died in 2002!!
And as St. Paddy's day is next Wednesday the 17th of March 2010 what's a more befitting way to know exactly if you're Irish or not!!!!!

They have yet to research my surname. I even tried different spellings that I saw in the old Bible.
I do know I have Irish ancestors, but where the name comes from, don't know.
Sounds Germanic. Sherbine
