Hello: I am new to the list and am hoping that someone can help me out with my g-g-g-grandmother's maiden name of DOMILIVER. My ancestor immigrated to Canada from Ireland about 1835 and ended up in Ontario. I have been able to find reference to her name on a marriage index for her son's marriage about 1865. There her name is spelled DOMILIVRE. Not sure which is the correct spelling. All I know is that I have contacted a professor in Ireland (sorry can't remember which university) who is a surname researcher and he had never heard of this name in Ireland. In fact couldn't even pin-point its possible origins. The professor's wife who is also a surname researcher thought it looked Spanish but said that she had never heard of this name from Spain and that is her area of expertise. HELLLLLLP, please! It is driving me crazy that no one in the world has ever heard of the name DOMILIVER/DOMILIVRE. A soundex search brings up some German names, but none that are even remotely close in spelling to this surname. Thank you.

Originates in Devonshire, England) BELESAIGNE (Huguenot name meaning pretty pool - originates from Languedoc region of France)
