What do ya'll think?

It is definitely of German Descent , If the S is pronounced then no doubt it is German, french people usually keep the S , silent and use the c with the cede mark to pronounce an S sound ie: Ç
EDIT: Cool! you might be of German decent, it's hard to imagine anyone from the DR which was colonized by Spain and thus has Spanish heritage, to have a last name that is German, i would be proud! Germany is a great country, very clean , one of the world's richest and a great place to live , i say you gotta work that latina and german pride!
Glücklich Mädchen! Or lucky girl!!

It sounds like "shulter brant". It means "shoulder brand" (like what you burn into a cow). If you are from the Dominican Republic, your ancestors were probably slaves and they were marked by a brand into the shoulder.

He could have been German but also he could also have been Austrian or Swiss. Both are major German-speaking countries.

This is German. Schulter is (shoulder) and brandt (burned)
Funny last name.
