Help[Surname] Re: Surname "Garboden" and "Szynal"
in reply to a message by Charls
You'll find the genealogical data that backs up the German origin of Garboden at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=stevespeeps&id=I7312. Can you provide any similar evidence for your alleged Armenian origin?

You're welcome. I have looked at the records and I now believe the surname Garboden is of German origin, as Mark have said, and I thought possible. Perhaps the English surname Garbutt is also of the same origin, also deriving from the German personal name Geribodo. Perhaps the Armenian origin is unlikely. I thank Marc for the evidence.
It is always great to have researchers and experts correct each other, as the origin of the surname gets closer and closer to the truth!
