lammert is a name that first reached
England following the
Norman Conquest of 1066. It comes from the Old German
personal name Lambert or
Lanbert. These names are both composed of the elements
land, which means
land or territory and
berht, which means
bright or famous.Early Origins of the lammert family
The surname lammert was first found in
Surrey where they were descended from the ancient Count of Mons and Louvain, born 940 A.D. died 1004. His three sons were Baldwin, Ralph, and Hugh Lambert. Accompanying Duke William to
England at the Battle of Hastings, a Norman chief, Haco Lambert acquired lands from Duke William and is recorded in the
Domesday Book.
Descended was Henry Fitz Lambert living in 1235 who was a benefactor of the church at Lincoln. Early records of the family were found the in the parish of Kirkby in Malham Dale in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
"The church is a large and handsome building, of the style that prevailed in the reign of Henry VII., and is the burial-place of the Lambert family, of whom General Lambert was distinguished, on the side of Cromwell, in the civil war." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the lammert family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the lammert family to immigrate North America:
