I am an American E3b with ancestors who came from Reyersviller in the
department of Moselle, France in 1871. According to the local history, the
area was resettled in 1662 after the Swedes depopulated the area, by a group
of 200 people sent from Tyrol in Austria. At the time Lorraine ( Moselle)
was part of the Empire. With the surname Schaming, cousins still living
there revealed that family history said our ancestors came from a small
village named Schaming near Eugendorf about 10 miles east of Salzburg,
Austria in the region called Tyrol. The history also reports that there were
three brothers (?) named Schaming in that group of 200 immigrants.
Documented records based genealogy reveals that all Schamings descended from
those three men. The brothers (?) most likely took the surname Schaming from
their village name after their arrival. People in the village today have
never heard of anyone with that surname which in their village means a type
of roof. Checking a map shows that the area is not very far from the
Balkans. It was first settled about 800 AD. Perhaps this answers your
question. Further, the Tyrol area has a relatively large E3b population.
Your subject could have been in that group of 200 which would support your
proven date of 1700. If there is a list of names of the 200 immigrants, I
haven't found it yet, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Perhaps
you can find your subject in Eugendorf area church records.
