Does anyone know of or can elaborate on the last name of Douvros?

Question

it is NOT a french name and has not been shortend. plz no information that is coppied and pasted/reworded from ansistery.com.

Answer 1

I agree that it sounds Greek. If you are looking for the origin/meaning, remember that a lot of times surnames get spelled differently on different documents or change over time, so you have to be flexible. I know one surname in my family, Major, has been spelled Majors, Mayger, Mager, Mayor, etc. Try looking for names like Duvros, Davros, Dauvros as well.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/f...

has just one entry, someone who died in California.

http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/d...

says his mother's maiden name was DEICHLER and he was born in Tennessee.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...

has 3 entries, including Paul, the man on the previous links.

The 1930 UA census index has 32 entries. I won't copy them here per your request, since they are on Ancestry. Some of them are born in Greece, though.
