Like those fathers of fathers before me, they went forth, with concept of there own beliefs though others may not believe in my father’s father I do.
It is like the chromosomes of the German elk going back to ancient homeland, trace myself along my chromosomes to my ancient home lands.
The Elchwald, (Elwald, Ellot) & Kerr are marsh dwelling elk (moose), so guess I get to be as bull head and chase my ancestral pass back like the German elk(moose) of the wald(forest).
elk defined;
Area of the elk, showing where they are reentering, Germany.
Bec, as known as Beck Hall, as one on can see is moated/moted in.
The name Alan may have developed out of Croyland, said to be the original region of the Elwald/Ellot/Elliot.
Croyland, land of many names;
Croyland is fenland marshland;
Croyland is land of Danes;
Croyland of the Elwald-Elliot;
Croyland the region of Alan&Elfwald;
First Alan Of Bec-Beck Hall;
First Robert Elwald of Oulton;
Alan father of Robert Elwald;
Stag Head Family Symbol;
Ælfwald sceat/coin with stag head;
Elwood/Ellwood Crest of Yorshire/Cumbria onto Wm of Horsleyhill crest;
Has stag’s head.
Coin/sceat minted, and Ellwood/Elwood which became Gorrenberry/Horsleyhill Elwald/Ellot, coat of arms, from Yorkshire.
Ellwood/Elwood/Ellot/Elwald coat of arms is similar to old ker/kerr Ferniehirst coats of arms.
It should be noted that the elk(moose) was extinct from the British Isles way before the Elwald (Ellot), and Ker/Kerr set foot on the island. This gives reason to use a stag head instead of and elk (moose) head and to use the word elf instead of elk.
Can the elk of the wald; Elliot find their way back to Germany?
