    3. Hello A friend of mine has "information" that the above surname may be of Irish origin - but going back several centuries possibly. Any extant Irish surname that resembles it? We also have a family called Darailh, also said to be Irish from way back - Daray maybe? Any ideas anybody? All suggestions except the most rude will be welcome TIA Liz Owen, in a damp and soggy SW France

    3. Strange - it's all to do with corruption of the surname. My Foucayran from whom I have just had an e-mail, is descended from a slew of Fourcaran (spelling incredibly variable - would you like a list from my parish registers?) that I can trace back in this here neck of the woods to 1589 Liz Owen "Joseph Pessarra" <joepessarra@suddenlink.net> a écrit dans le message de news: 4b4256ce$0$5327$bbae4d71@news.suddenlink.net... > "Liz Owen" <l.owen@free.fr> wrote in message > news:4b422744$0$6284$426a74cc@news.free.fr... >> Hello >> A friend of mine has "information" that the above surname may be of Irish >> origin - but going back several centuries possibly.
