METZGER-METZGER CONNECTION IN OUR FAMILY
South German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a butcher, Middle High German metziger, metzjer, German Metzger (probably a loan word from Latin, but of uncertain lineage).
The Metzger family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Metzger families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1840 there were 43 Metzger families living in Pennsylvania. This was about 51% of all the recorded Metzger's in the USA.
We have two lines of these Pennsylvania Metzgers in our family. Are their ancestors connected? I don’t know.
