    Default Help with some last names?

    A friend of mine is not 100% sure of their European origins, and they recently became a member of ancestry.com to find out more. The surnames- Jussila, Pollari, Fremont, and Keele. Fremont sounds English, yet a bit French, and as for the rest I'm not really sure. Can you guys help out? Thanks

    I don't think so. Jussila sounds more Finnish than Sollari. Sounds similar to "Lassila".

    Jussila is definitely Finnish, Pollari is likely Finnish too.

    'Keele' is English. It's either locational (Lincolnshire) or occupational (Ship builder).
