The Albers Family Name

Found my families coat of arms

Origin Displayed: French

Spelling variations include: Albert, Alber, Alberte, Albers, Albaire, Albair, Alb�re, Alberre, Albairre, d’Albert, d’Alber, d’Alberte, d’Albers, d’Albaire, d’Alb�re, d’Alberre and many more. First found in Bourgogne, where the family were anciently seated from very early times.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Johan Jacob Albert settled in Philadelphia in 1753; John Jacob Albert settled in Maryland in 1763; Michael Albert settled in Lancaster in 1719; Joseph Alber settled in Philadelphia in 1746.

UPDATE: I found another coat of arms and my grandparents say the name comes from Germany.
