Question:

Feemster surname?

I've researched and researched what I could on the Feemster surname and I get very few answers, and they are missed. Some people say it is Scottish and that they were Cattle ("fee") masters ("mster"). Other people say German. If anyone knows, would you fill me in? Thanks.
