Subject: ymb-spenning
Find ymb-spenning in the glossary and am curious regarding the actual meaning of this.
My surname which is very rare on any continent is SPENNING and I am wondering if I might find an explanation as to its meaning. I have followed the family origin to Austria and Germany.
Would be most happy for a good hint here.
Thnk you and hope I have come to the right place for my query.
