Answer 1

Linconshire , Britain

Taulbee Family has held a seat there since ancient times, granted lands by William the Conqueror after the Norman invasion in 1066

Answer 2

This is on rootsweb.  Are you any relation to Rose Taulbee?  She wrote a history of Taulbees.

AN ALL TAULBEE INDEX TO ROSE'S BOOK

        As with most families, the name is spelled in many ways:

     TOLBY - TALBY -TOLBEE - TALBEE - TOLBIE - TALBIE -TAULBY -TAULBEE

Answer 3

The only way to be sure of where you originate, is to trace your families lineage. The colour of your hair and freckles isn't really any guide either. (if it was we could be cousins !)
