I am not familiar with the name Lau. I am wondering if there is any connection between them and the name Low/Lowe. There were a number by that name in Guilford Co NC in the 1700's. Could that be the Americanized version of Lau. They lived in the German section, among some from Alsace Lorraine. > Some intermarried with my Huffines line. > Good Searching - Good Finding - Good Luck!
