Author: ShirleyJSherrod Surnames: Barefoot Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.barefoot/290.4.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My Grandfather came over to Canada in the early 1900's from the Redding, England area. There are many Barefoot's in that area, as there are many other areas of England. Again, the family lore is that the original family came from Norway and the name was probably Barfett or a derivative of the same. There are also Barefoot's in Australia, at least I have family ties there. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
