Topic - Pressly

Most instances of the surname Presley and variants Pressley and Pressly are thought to be ultimately of English, Scottish or Welsh origin. Later, if not found in some form originating also in Scotland, the name made its way across the border to that country, then on to Ireland and to the United States. However, some of the instances of the name in America may derive from a German surname Preslar (ultimately from Bressler, meaning 'from Breslau, Poland'), as individuals in some post-colonial American records are recorded under both names. - Source: Wikipedia
