The following images will trace the Emery surname from the Scandinavian territories (Swedish/Danish origin) to the new word.

1. Scandinavian conquest routes (Vikings).

As the vikings spread, one of their settlements was in Normandy. The following image is from the French Coat of Arms for the Emery family, which was centered in  Normandy. The "coat of arms",  was first introduced as a means of identification.

2. Normandy then conquered England (William the Conquerer, 1066AD)

Below is an English census statistic showing the "Emery" names in 1891.

The following image is the English Coat of Arms for the Emery family. The base pattern (the shield) is consistent for most " Emery" surnames and the outlying pattern takes on various forms to identify the many Emery families. Again, this system is used for identification and taxation purposes.

3. Then off to the new world.
