The Brack name has been found in all the German speaking countries and some genealogists have suggested to me that the Brack's came to England with the Normans at the time of the Conquest. Later the name creeped Northward to London and on to Durmham and Yorkshire where I have been told it is the thickest. Then it moved further north to Northumberland and over the border to the Scottish counties of Roxburghshire & Berwickshire. |
