They are most certainly Oldenburg (Aldenburg) as My 17th cousin Prince William pointed this out to me and my cousin Hally personally- Check link below as for the old windsor I will find the link when I have a free moment and post it. There are many , many Oldenburg and other Royal lines that do not have proper historical documentation( many cadet house lines)other at the time were left out of the registries for not paying proper tax, tith, tribute to church and /or main house.

From 1901 to this date the House name was Saxe-Coburg & Gotha with the Family name of Wettin (that being the name of the Saxon Royal House and Duchies). Windsor was chosen because this British castle/fortress had the image of tradition, strength and stability. The Third Reich was Hitler's creation and came some years later. The 'Duke of Windsor' title was created in 1937.
Windsor Castle is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name of Windsor originates from old English Windles-ore or 'winch by the riverside' (according to Wiki).
I can't find any reference to a Windsor in Germany.
Mountbatten-Windsor is a more recent creation and seems to be the preferred Family name of most of the Queen's children, at least on marriage certificates.
