Based on what I know, it has been O'Viat in France, D'Oviatt (as mentioned previous, in Normandy), and I read some speculation that it came from Uffet, apparently a region in Austria? This is all based on a book shown to me by my Grandmother, Marjorie Oviatt. She was a Jones, i believe, and married Clifford Leo. He has passed but she is still alive in Penticton, BC, an avid geneologist, although she is getting older now. She'd love to hear from anyone looking for family information...contact me at [email protected] to learn how to contact her, but expect a long turnaround time, I'm going into training this summer for three months with the Canadian Army.
