Unaware of any ties of Gaddy/Gaddey family with Austrian/Germanic origins. The fact that we have not been able to locate records of arrival in the New World tends to reenforce the idea that the origin is England. Earliest reference known to me is 1719. Christian names are English. Double "D" persists, in spite of variant spellings of surname. Have seen the name as an Anglicized version of Italian Gatti, but never German.
